Frailty and Sleep in Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer: A Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Young adult survivors of childhood cancer exhibit rates of frailty similar to adults several decades older without a cancer history. Frailty has been associated with sleep disturbances in non-cancer populations, but the relationship has not been examined in childhood cancer survivors who are known to exhibit elevated rates of sleep problems.

Aims

Examine associations between frailty and poor sleep quality in long-term survivors of childhood cancer.

Methods

This study utilized data from 9044 participants (> 5 years from diagnosis, M_age = 40.8 years [SD = 9.5]) in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Survivors' frailty status, chronic health conditions (CHC), health behaviors, mental health, and pain were collected in 2014-2016, and self-reported s
