“…Our results suggest that, although other socioeconomic variables such as household income might be associated with lifestyle behaviour at diagnosis, education was the strongest independent predictor of continued smoking and continued physical inactivity after a cancer diagnosis. Those findings are consistent with significant results 16,[34][35][36] and nonsignificant trends 37 previously reported in studies that did not examine all 3 socioeconomic indicators. This relationship between education and post-diagnosis behaviour modification could also be reflective of a general phenomenon among patients with chronic disease 38 .…”

Purpose Smoking cessation and increased physical activity (pa) have been linked to better outcomes in cancer survivors. We assessed whether socioeconomic factors influence changes in those behaviours after a cancer diagnosis. MethodsAs part of a cross-sectional study, a diverse group of cancer survivors at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Toronto, ON), completed a questionnaire about past and current lifestyle behaviours and perceptions about the importance of those behaviours with respect to their health. The influence of socioeconomic indicators on smoking status and physical inactivity at 1 year before and after diagnosis were assessed using multivariable logistic regression with adjustment for clinico-demographic factors. ResultsOf 1222 participants, 1192 completed the smoking component. Of those respondents, 15% smoked before diagnosis, and 43% of those smokers continued to smoke after. The proportion of survivors who continued to smoke increased with lower education level (p = 0.03). Of the 1106 participants answering pa questions, 39% reported being physically inactive before diagnosis, of whom 82% remained inactive afterward. Survivors with a lower education level were most likely to remain inactive after diagnosis (p = 0.003). Lower education level, household income, and occupation were associated with the perception that pa had no effect or could worsen fatigue and quality of life (p ≤ 0.0001).Conclusions In cancer survivors, education level was a major modifier of smoking and pa behaviours. Lower socioeconomic status was associated with incorrect perceptions about pa. Targeting at-risk survivors by education level should be evaluated as a strategy in cancer survivorship programs.

“…Esses índices merecem atenção, uma vez que atingir as recomendações de AF moderada a vigorosa está associado à benefícios para a saúde destas mulheres, com efeitos positivos na qualidade de vida (Hong et al, 2007;Malicka, Szczepańska-Gieracha, Jankowska, Woź niewski, & Rymaszewska, 2011;Mandelblatt et al, 2011;Paxton et al, 2012;Smith et al, 2009), emocional, cognitivo (Mohammadi et al, 2013), e diretamente na vitalidade (Paxton et al, 2012). Da mesma forma, acentua-se que a AF resulta em uma melhora da capacidade funcional (Basen- Engquist et al, 2008), diminuição da depressão e fadiga (Basen-Engquist et al, 2008;Rogers et al, 2011), das dores associadas (Basen-Engquist et al, 2008) e menores casos de ansiedade (Malicka et al, 2011).…”

Em que apesar de não apresentarem valores de prevalência, encontraram associações entre os tipos de tratamento e a prática de AF.…”

“…Observa-se que o tratamento do CM, é um fator que contribui para a diminuição da prática de AF de forma geral. No entanto, é necessário evidenciar que a prática de AF neste período está associada com uma melhor qualidade de vida (Mandelblatt et al, 2011), ressaltando-se a importância do estímulo à prática durante o período do tratamento (Hong et al, 2007;Kwan et al, 2012).…”

ARTIGO DE REVISÃO | REVIEW ARTICLE RESUMO ABSTRACTThis systematic review aimed to analyze the original studies that investigated the level of physical activity (PA) self-reported, and the benefits and associated factors among women in treatment or after treatment for breast cancer (BC). In this way, the search was performed in electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, OVID and Health Virtual Library used the descriptors [physical activity] AND [breast cancer] in English, Spanish and Portuguese. 21 studies published in English were included, between 2004 and 2014. We could find that most of the women did not reached the recommendations of PA posttreatment, there were no findings related to the prevalence of PA during treatment of BC . Noted an association between PA practice level with age, BMI, education, ethnicity, BC stage, menopause, associated comorbidities, smoking, body image, depressive symptoms and presence of fatigue. Higher incidence of PA to walk was associated with improved quality of life (QOL), decreased level of fatigue and depressive symptoms.

“…The WHEL physical activity measures have been validated against physical activity recalls and objective accelerometry-based assessments [22]. We converted physical activity into units of metabolic equivalent (MET) hours per week and categorized into quintiles of distribution, as was previously published [23,24].…”
