Combined lifestyle factors on mortality and cardiovascular disease among cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Lifestyle factors in cancer survivors are frequently studied individually even though they are often interconnected. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association of combined lifestyle factors on health outcomes among cancer survivors.

Methods

EMBASE, PubMed and Web of Science were searched up to March 2024. Cohort studies examining the associations of at least three combined lifestyle factors with mortality (all-cause/cancer-specific) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among cancer survivors, were selected.
