Swain CTV, Nguyen NH, Eagles T, et al. - Researchers investigated the link between postdiagnosis sedentary behavior and survival, patient-reported outcomes, and anthropometric outcomes among cancer survivors via performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. Specifically, they analyzed data from 33 studies on the link between sedentary behavior and death, patient-reported outcomes, or anthropometric outcomes. Eligible studies included adults with cancer, and these studies were identified from Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus databases. An increased risk of all-cause death and colorectal cancer-specific mortality was observed in relation to a higher level of postdiagnosis sedentary behavior. No obvious or consistent links between sedentary behavior and patient-reported or anthropometric outcomes were found. The researchers concluded that improved survival outcomes may be achieved by avoiding high levels of sedentary behavior following a cancer diagnosis; however, they acknowledged that further investigation is needed to determine whether the link is causal.
