Effects of a Physical Activity mHealth Intervention (Fit2Thrive) on WCRF/AICR Cancer Prevention Recommendations among Breast Cancer Survivors: A Secondary Data Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interventions targeting moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) may be a catalyst for improving other lifestyle behaviors in breast cancer survivors (BCS). We examined whether Fit2Thrive, an mHealth MVPA intervention, influenced adherence to cancer prevention recommendations.

Methods

BCSs (N = 269; age, mean = 52.9; SD = 9.9) received a 12-week mHealth MVPA intervention and were randomized to "on" or "off" level of five intervention components. The World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) score was calculated (0 = high cancer risk, 6 = low cancer risk) based on cancer prevention recommendations: sugar-sweetened beverages, fast food, fruit/vegetable intake, body mass index, alcohol consumption, and MVPA (baseline, 12 weeks
