Impact of Social Determinants of Health on Health-Related Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a critical aspect of cancer survivorship, influenced by various social determinants of health (SDoH) such as economic stability, education access, and healthcare coverage. Understanding the impact of these determinants is essential for developing interventions that improve the well-being of cancer survivors.

Methods

Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using data from 20,534 adults with cancer, including 15,754 from the All of Us (AOU) Research Program (2015-2024) and 4,780 from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2001-2018). HRQoL outcomes were assessed across multiple dimensions: physical health, mental health, emotional well-being, social support, functional ability, and physical activity.
