ΔRFC = delta value of Recommended Food Consumption expressed as daily frequencies of consumption; ΔDFC = delta value of Discouraged Food Consumption expressed as daily frequencies of consumption; ΔMS parameters = delta value of Metabolic Syndrome parameters; low improvement = reduction of 1 or 2 MS parameters; high improvement = reduction of 3 or more MS parameters. *ORs adjusted for center, age, BMI at baseline, education (years), hormonal treatment (yes/n o), years from BC diagnosis, and chemotherapy (yes/no) in the past. § Data were available for 1298 women (659 IG and 639 CG) due to missing values in same food items in the diaries.
