Some 717 of the women had breast cancer and 735 were without breast cancer. Multivariable logistic regression was applied with CAM use as the outcome variable and lifestyle factors, socioeconomic factors, comorbidities, and HRQoL as explanatory variables. Adjustments were made for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CAM was used by 34.3% (95% CI [30.1, 37.7]) of the women without breast cancer and 38.6% (95% CI [35.1, 42.2]) of the women with breast cancer. The most frequently used CAMs were massage, acupuncture\/acupressure, relaxation techniques, reflexology, medicinal tea, herbs and plant extracts, and most CAM users used a single modality. CAM users were more likely to be younger, divorced, and less likely to smoke. Breast cancer status, body mass index, alcohol use, and comorbidity status were not significantly associated with CAM use. CAM users had lower means across all HRQoL dimensions compared to non-users.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>CAM use is common among Danish women, with no significant difference found when comparing women with and without breast cancer.
