Omofuma OO, Peterson LL, Turner DP, et al. - Higher intake of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) was linked to a higher risk of main cause mortality in postmenopausal women with breast cancer (BC).

• Between 1993 and 1998, postmenopausal women aged 50 to 79 years were recruited in the Women's Health Initiative and followed until death or censorship in March 2018.

• The sample consisted of 2,023 women diagnosed with first primary invasive BC during follow-up who finished a food frequency questionnaire after diagnosis.

• Six hundred thirty fatalities from all causes were documented after a median of 15.1 years of follow-up [193 were BC-related and 129 were cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related].

• Post-diagnosis NƐ-carboxymethyl-lysine-AGE consumption was linked to all-cause, BC and CVD mortality.
