Sleep, quality of life, and depression in endometrial cancer survivors with obesity seeking weight loss.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Incidence and mortality rates of uterine cancer are increasing and, obesity, which is also rising, has been associated with uterine cancer development and mortality. A recent study found that poor sleep quality is common among endometrial cancer survivors and those with obesity had more sleep disturbances than those having normal weight. However, it is unclear if higher levels of obesity (Class III, BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²), which are rising rapidly, are differentially associated with sleep as well as depression and quality of life in endometrial cancer survivors.

Methods

We evaluated sleep, depression, and quality of life in 100 Stage I endometrial cancer survivors with obesity seeking weight loss enrolled in a lifestyle intervention (NCT01870947) at baseline.
