Changes in physical activity 1 year after breast cancer diagnosis and associations with patient-reported outcomes
BACKGROUND: Few studies have prospectively examined how changes in physical activity in the first year after a breast cancer diagnosis may affect patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including quality of life and fatigue. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine changes in device-measured physical activity and associations with changes in quality of life [physical composite summary score (PCS) and mental composite summary score (MCS)] and fa…
Raising awareness about physical activity’s role in reducing cancer risk
We generated insight on the ideal characteristics of a community-based education session that could raise awareness among immigrant women of the importance of PA in reducing cancer risk. Further research is needed to assess the feasibility and impact of PA education sessions designed based on these findings
Physical inactivity and non-communicable disease burden in low-income, middle-income and high-income countries
OBJECTIVES: Physical inactivity is a risk factor for premature mortality and several non-communicable diseases. The purpose of this study was to estimate the global burden associated with physical inactivity, and to examine differences by country income and region. METHODS: Population-level, prevalence-based population attributable risks (PAR) were calculated for 168 countries to estimate how much disease could be averted if physical inactivity w…
Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between the built environment and walking
Despite population count and street connectivity being associated with walking at baseline, changes in these built environment variables were not associated with changes in walking following residential relocation. Our findings also provide evidence, albeit weak, that changes in neighborhood walkability, resulting from residential relocation, might more strongly affect walking among low SES adults. Further longitudinal research is needed to exami…
Incidence of Pregnancy-Associated Cancer in Two Canadian Provinces
Pregnancy-associated cancer-that is diagnosed in pregnancy or within 365 days after delivery-is increasingly common as cancer therapy evolves and survivorship increases. This study assessed the incidence and temporal trends of pregnancy-associated cancer in Alberta and Ontario-together accounting for 50% of Canada's entire population. Linked data from the two provincial cancer registries and health administrative data were used to ascertain new d…
Associations between the built environment and physical activity among adults with low socio-economic status in Canada
Estimating the future cancer management costs attributable to modifiable risk factors in Canada
Estimates of future cancer mortality attributable to modifiable risk factors in Canada
World Health Organization 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour
Objectives To describe new WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods The guidelines were developed in accordance with WHO protocols. An expert Guideline Development Group reviewed evidence to assess associations between physical activity and sedentary behaviour for an agreed set of health outcomes and population groups. The assessment used and systematically updated recent relevant systematic reviews; new primary r…
Physical Activity in Cancer Prevention and Survival
The Independent Associations between Walk Score® and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status, Waist Circumference, Waist-To-Hip Ratio and Body Mass Index Among Urban Adults
Background : Environmental and policy factors can influence weight status via facilitating or discouraging physical activity and healthy diet. Despite mixed evidence, some findings suggest that the neighborhood built environment, including “walkability”, is associated with overweight and obesity. Most of these findings have measured body mass index (BMI), yet other weight status measures including waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip (W-H) r…
Measures of excess body weight and anthropometry among adult Albertans
A large majority of ATP participants were overweight and carried excess abdominal fat. Strategies to improve energy balance among Albertans are encouraged and may have a notable impact on future chronic disease burden
Associations between the neighbourhood food environment, neighbourhood socioeconomic status, and diet quality
Our findings suggest that larger density of local food destinations may is associated with better diet quality in adults
Development and testing of a past year measure of sedentary behavior
The SIT-Q has acceptable measurement properties for use in epidemiologic studies
Subpopulation differences in the association between neighborhood urban form and neighborhood-based physical activity
Correlates of Strength Exercise in Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Interventions to increase strength exercise participation in CRC survivors are needed
The relationship between cluster-analysis derived walkability and local recreational and transportation walking among Canadian adults
Risk of endometrial cancer in relation to individual nutrients from diet and supplements
Objective Intake of nutrients may influence the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). We aimed to estimate the association of intake of individual nutrients from food and from food plus supplements with EC occurrence. Design A population-based case–control study conducted in Canada (2002–2006). Setting Nutrient intakes from food and supplements were assessed using an FFQ. Logistic regression was used to estimate EC risk within quartile levels of nutri…
Sex- and age-specific seasonal variations in physical activity among adults
BACKGROUND: To examine seasonal variations in self-reported physical activity among an urban population of Calgarian adults. METHOD: Telephone surveys were conducted with two independent random cross-sectional samples of adults in summer and autumn 2007 (n=2199) and in winter and spring 2008 (n=2223). Participation and duration of walking for recreation (WR), walking for transportation (WT), moderate (MODPA) and vigorous physical activity (VIGPA)…
Adaptation and evaluation of the National Cancer Institute's Diet History Questionnaire and nutrient database for Canadian populations
Background and objective Despite assumed similarities in Canadian and US dietary habits, some differences in food availability and nutrient fortification exist. Food-frequency questionnaires designed for the USA may therefore not provide the most accurate estimates of dietary intake in Canadian populations. Hence, we undertook to evaluate and modify the National Cancer Institute's Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) and nutrient database. Methods Of…
