Patterns of dietary quality, physical activity, and sleep duration among cancer survivors and caregivers.

ABSTRACT: Fruit and vegetable intake (FVI), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and sleep duration are each independently associated with cancer-related and general health outcomes among cancer survivors.
