“…Stress levels remained the most signi cant risk factor in distinguishing the three latent classes in our study. This result is consistent with previous studies, showing a signi cant relationship between stress and psychological distress in cancer survivors [14,44,45]. Further, the association between stress levels and the latent class membership was strongest between Class 3 and Class 1 (Table 5), indicating potential roles of stress in cognitive impairment and somatic symptoms [14,44,45].…”

Further, the association between stress levels and the latent class membership was strongest between Class 3 and Class 1 (Table 5), indicating potential roles of stress in cognitive impairment and somatic symptoms [14,44,45]. Social support may alleviate the symptom burden by reducing stress levels [14,44,45].…”

“…The influence of psychological factors on the incidence of CRC has been explored in a few studies with uncertain results [ 111 - 113 ]. Although previous studies have focused on the effects of cancer on mental health instead of the reverse [ 114 ], we did find several mental health factors contribute to a higher risk of CRC in the Chinese population.…”

“…Over the last few decades, interest in the contribution of patient characteristics on cancer onset, treatment, and management as well as the ability to cope with cancer have widely increased [16][17][18]. Higher levels of resilience have been described in patients of younger age, female sex, and higher socioeconomic status as well as those who are married [12][13][14].…”
