    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between nutritional&#xA0;knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) and physical activity (PA) on the quality of&#xA0;life (QOL) in women with breast cancer (BC).
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved all women with BC who referred&#xA0;to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran during the years 2018-2019 that by using&#xA0;Cochran formula, 220 of them were selected by convenience sampling and answered&#xA0;the questionnaire including Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), Nutritional Knowledge, Attitude, Practice Survey (KAP) and Quality of life Questionnaire for breast cancer patients (QLQ-30). To determine the share of nutritional variables&#xA0;and physical activity (PA) in predicting QOL, standard multiple regression was used&#xA0;by SPSS 22 software.
Results: The findings of the study showed that the BC patients&#x2019; PA (109.61&#xB1;110.831),QOL (49.805&#xB1;16.830) and KAP (K= 46.028&#xB1;11.879; A=45.540&#xB1;19.754; P=46.870&#xB1;12.362)&#xA0;were not in a good condition.The best functional outcomes of QLQ-30 questionnaire&#xA0;were found for social functioning (73.560&#xB1;26.873) and role functioning (73.560&#xB1;26.873)&#xA0;subscales whereas emotional functioning was found lowest (58.257&#xB1;24.298). Also, the
results showed that Nutrition-RelatedKnowledge (&#x3B2;=144; P=0.036), Attitudes (&#x3B2;=160;P=0.038), and Practice (&#x3B2;=0.596; P=0.045) and PA (&#x3B2;=0.042; P=0.001) were significant&#xA0;factors in predicting cancer patients&#x2019; quality of life.
Conclusion: The study showed that active patients have a good QOL, also, right nutritional choices and performance by the patients can result in a better quality of life,therefore, the patients should receive special interventions at this time.</abstract>
