Leisure-time physical activity after diagnosis and survival by cancer type: a pooled analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence for potential mortality benefits of leisure-time moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) for survivors of cancer types beyond breast and colorectal is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate relationships between postdiagnosis MVPA and all-cause mortality in participants with a history of 11 cancer types.

Methods

Data were pooled from 6 United States-based cohort studies. Cohort-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for associations of MVPA assessed ≥1 year after a cancer diagnosis and all-cause mortality were calculated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models and then pooled using random effects meta-analysis. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking status, alcohol use, and c
