Breast cancer and its antineoplastic treatment accelerate bone mass loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Diet, as a modifiable factor, may play a key role in this process. This study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary patterns and bone status in Mexican women recently diagnosed with breast cancer A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted with two age-matched groups: one with a recent diagnosis of non-metastatic breast cancer and another without the disease. Bone status and body composition were assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and dietary intake was evaluated through a validated food frequency questionnaire. Three dietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis. The “Breakfast” pattern, characterized by dairy products, eggs, coffee, tea, and refined cereals, showed a positive association with lumbar bone mineral density (β = 0.043; p = 0.020). The “Westernized” pattern showed a negative trend close to the significance threshold (p = 0.053), while the “Traditional-Mexican” pattern was not associated with bone density. These findings highlight the importance of promoting dietary patterns that support bone health in women with breast cancer.
