Cancer Prevention

6.1K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Oncology
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Older cancer survivors experience physical decline due to inactivity and sedentary behaviors, worsening comorbidities.
  • Less than 30% of older cancer survivors meet physical activity guidelines, increasing health risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design, methods, and rationale of a remotely delivered, whole-of-day physical activity intervention for older cancer survivors.
  • The intervention aims to increase light-intensity activity and reduce sedentary time, guided by social cognitive and self-determination theories.
  • Motivational interviewing was incorporated to enhance engagement and goal achievement.

Main Methods:

  • The 12-week "Move for Your Health" trial involved 64 older cancer survivors randomized to an intervention or control group.
  • Participants used Fitbit trackers and a smartphone app for self-monitoring, supported by health coaching via phone calls.
  • Data on physical function, performance, activity, sedentary behavior, and quality of life were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Recruitment for the randomized controlled trial was completed in June 2023.
  • Data collection concluded in March 2024, with analyses currently ongoing.
  • Feasibility outcomes (recruitment, retention, adherence, acceptability) and efficacy outcome data are being processed.

Conclusions:

  • Trial results will assess the intervention's feasibility and potential impact on older cancer survivors' physical activity and function.
  • Findings will guide the design of a larger randomized controlled trial to further evaluate this physical activity intervention.
