About this trial
The main objective of this project is to determine the possible association between the levels of certain bioactive lipids, which the body produces from dietary fatty acids, and tumor characteristics in breast cancer patients, as well as their relationship with overweight/obesity.
Specific objectives are:
* To analyse anthropometric and body composition changes. * To evaluate physical activity level. * To determine dietary profile. * To determine the adherence to Mediterranean dietary pattern. * To assess the quality of life. * To determine levels of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators
The target sample size is 60 subjects. Participants will be allocated in four groups:
* Group 1: Postmenopausal healthy women with overweight/obesity (n=15) * Group 2: Postmenopausal healthy women with normoweight (n=15) * Group 3: Postmenopausal women with breast cancer and overweight/obesity (n=15) * Group 4: Postmenopausal women with breast cancer and normoweight (n=15)

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Lipid mediators profile
Lipid mediators will be analysed by targeted lipidomic method.
Secondary outcomes
Body weight
Weight of participants will be measured by bioimpedance and densitometry and reported in kg
Height
Height of participants will be measured by stadiometer and reported in m.
Body mass index
Body mass index will be calculated as follows: weight (kilograms)/ height (m)2 and will be also measured by densitometry and reported in kg/m2.
Hip circumference
Hip circumference of participants in fasting condition will be analyzed by measuring tape and reported in cm.
