This study utilized data collected in the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2020. Health-related quality of life was negatively correlated with depression, and positively correlated with thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin E intake. Mediation analysis revealed that only riboflavin and vitamin E intake had significant mediating effects. This study provides a foundation for future research aimed at improving the quality of life of cancer survivors through the use of vitamins.
