Brief Summary
Despite their health benefits, vegetarian dietary patterns can lead to malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies if improperly managed, especially in oncological settings. This survey assesses dietary quality and adequacy in 150 women (18-64 years), further examining how a threemonth nutritional counseling intervention influences body composition, physical activity, and quality of life.
