Summary

The PREVCAR study is a cross-sectional investigation aimed at evaluating dietary habits among women undergoing breast cancer screening. Specifically, the study focuses on adherence to the Mediterranean diet, a dietary pattern recognized for its potential protective role against chronic diseases, including breast cancer. The PREVCAR study will include approximately 35,000 women aged 18 and older who participate in the "Prevention Caravan" and complete both the breast cancer screening and the MEDAS (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener) questionnaire. This 14-item questionnaire measures dietary behavior, with scores reflecting levels of adherence to the Mediterranean diet.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the average MEDAS score among participants. Secondary objectives include analyzing how adherence varies across different known breast cancer risk factors-such as age, menopausal status, hormonal therapy use, and reproductive history-and assessing the prevalence of malignant breast lesions identified through the screening.
