Physical activity and quality of life among breast cancer survivors: Pink SWAN.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe physical activity (PA) trajectories across 10 years post-breast cancer diagnosis and examine their association with quality of life (QoL).

Methods

Participants from the longitudinal Study of Women's Health Across the Nation who developed incident breast cancer completed the Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors scale (QLACS) which has 12 domains. Breast cancer survivors (BCS) with at least one post-diagnosis measure of the Kaiser Physical Activity Survey (PA) were included (n = 96). We estimated metabolic equivalents of task minutes per week (MET-min/week) for the two most frequent sport/exercise activities. Group-based trajectory modeling determined PA trajectories over 10 years post-diagnosis. Analysis of covariance assessed associations between PA
