Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates lifestyle factors in rare versus common cancer survivors, suggesting targeted interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • Assess lifestyle differences between rare cancer (RC) and common cancer (CC) survivors and evaluate related sociodemographic and clinical factors.
  • Extracted data from PROFILES registry on lifestyle factors: alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, BMI, physical activity, dietary changes.
  • Defined healthy and unhealthy scores for each behaviour, generating a total lifestyle score.
  • Performed univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses to compare lifestyle factors between groups.
  • RC survivors had healthier lifestyles for alcohol consumption, BMI, physical activity, and dietary changes compared to CC survivors (p<0.05).
  • RC survivors were classified with a higher total lifestyle score than CC survivors (p<0.001).
  • Healthier lifestyles in RC survivors were associated with being female and having medium to high socioeconomic status; unhealthier lifestyles were seen in ages 40-64 (p<0.05).
