abstract = {Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has become
increasingly important for breast cancer survivors, but
clinically relevant declines often persist for many years
after treatment. This study aimed to investigate whether
social relationships can mitigate or prevent this decline in
HRQOL.Data were used from the German population-based Mamma
Carcinoma Risk Factor Investigation (MARIE) cohort of 2022
breast cancer cases with follow-up information for more than
15 years after diagnosis. Correlations between social
integration, social support, and global health status (GHS)
as an overall measure of HRQOL were analyzed, and linear
regression analysis was performed with structural equation
modeling.The majority of participants reported high levels
of social integration and social support and moderate levels
of GHS. Social integration 5 years after diagnosis was
associated with GHS 5 years after diagnosis (β = 1.12;
$95\%$ CI, 0.25-1.99), but no longitudinal effects were
found. Social support 5 years after diagnosis was associated
with better GHS 5 years (β = 0.42; $95\%$ CI, 0.36-0.48)
and 10 years after diagnosis (β = 0.12; $95\%$ CI,
0.02-0.22), whereas social support 10 years after diagnosis
was associated with GHS 10 years (β = 0.29; $95\%$ CI,
0.20-0.39) and 15 years after diagnosis (β = 0.10; $95\%$
CI, 0.01-0.21).These results confirm that social
relationships positively influence HRQOL in long-term breast
cancer survivors and that their association should receive
more attention clinically and beyond routine care.},
