  • Cancer prevention in Germany

    Open AccessMona Illmann, Karen Steindorf et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Introduction At least 40% of cancer cases could be prevented by lifestyle changes. However, despite clear recommendations, public awareness of modifiable cancer risk factors remains limited and misconceptions about cancer causes further impede prevention efforts. Understanding knowledge of preventable factors, myths, and information sources is essential for effective cancer prevention. Methods To address this, a total of 1,232 residents of Stuttg…

  • Meeting the WHO guideline on muscle-strengthening activities does not have to be time-consuming

    Open AccessJulian Brummer, Florian Herbolsheimer et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends performing muscle-strengthening activities at moderate or greater intensity, involving all major muscle groups, and on at least 2 days per week. However, estimates suggest only about 10–30% of the general population meet the guideline on muscle-strengthening activities, limiting overall (aerobic and muscle-strengthening) physical activity guideline adherence. Lack of time is a commonly cited barrier …

  • Is neighborhood socioeconomic status associated with health behavior in Berlin? Cross-sectional data of the German National Cohort (Nako)

    Open AccessLilian Krist, Kathrin Wolf et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Our analyses suggest a rather small association between Berlin's nSES and HLI, and slightly stronger associations with BMI and smoking. Future studies using longitudinal data and more neighbourhood measures are needed to better disentangle contextual influences from residential selection and to inform targeted prevention strategies

  • Changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior during the first Covid-19 pandemic- restrictions in Germany

    Open AccessFlorian Herbolsheimer, Annette Peters et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Mobility patterns shifted towards inactivity or low-intensity activities during the nationwide restrictions in the spring of 2020, potentially leading to considerable and lasting health risks

  • What is the Image of the “Typical Cancer Patient”? The View of Physicians

    Open AccessAngeliki Tsiouris, Nadine Ungar et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Men s Health2021

    Former research has identified stigmatizing attitudes toward cancer patients in the general population. Little is known about (implicit) attitudes of physicians toward cancer patients. By using the prototype approach, the study investigated German physicians’ prototypical perceptions of cancer patients. Five hundred nineteen physicians (mean age: 46 years, 47% female) who regularly treat cancer patients participated in the questionnaire study. Pa…

  • Worse or even better than expected? Outcome expectancies and behavioral experiences in the context of physical activity among cancer patients

    Open AccessNadine Ungar, Fiona S Rupprecht et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2021Referências: 28

    Expectancies of cancer patients regarding their physical activity before they took part in a behavior change intervention were compared with their experiences during the intervention period. A total of 66 cancer patients completed either a randomly assigned 4-week physical activity or a stress-management counseling intervention. On average, participants had positive expectancies toward physical activity. Outcome expectancies predicted outcomes (e…

  • Quality of life, problems, and needs of disease-free breast cancer survivors 5 years after diagnosis

    Open AccessMartina E Schmidt, Joachim Wiskemann et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2018

  • SP1-29 Fatigue and quality of life in breast cancer survivors

    Moritz Schmidt, J Chang-Claude et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Fatigue is a major severe complaint in the growing population of breast cancer survivors. Therefore, we investigated the different courses of fatigue from pre-diagnosis to long-term follow-up, and their associations with long-term quality of life (QoL) in disease-free breast cancer survivors, including comparisons with the general population. Methods Incident breast cancer patients diagnosed 2001–2005 were recruited in a case-control…

  • O6-2.3 Estimating the population-level impact of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors on invasive postmenopausal breast cancer and breast cancer subtypes

    Karen Steindorf, Benjamin Barnes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Population-attributable risk estimation of modifiable postmenopausal breast cancer risk factors might help to guide public health initiatives. Methods Using data on 3074 cases and 6386 controls from a population-based case-control study of postmenopausal breast cancer conducted in Germany between 2002 and 2005, we calculated multivariable-adjusted ORs and population attributable risks (PARs) for modifiable and non-modifiable risk fac…

  • Determinants of sports, cycling, walking and overall leisure-time physical activity among postmenopausal women in Germany

    Open AccessKaren Steindorf, Jenny Chang-Claude et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2010

    Objective Convincing evidence exists for a beneficial effect of physical activity (PA) on health and well-being for elderly women. Nevertheless, many women in Germany are insufficiently physically active. Activity promotion programmes should target women in particular need. Thus, we examined subject-related determinants of PA for postmenopausal women in Germany. Design Associations of sociodemographic, anthropometric, lifestyle and health-related…
