A Dyadic Approach to Cancer Care
Despite being key partners in the supportive care of the cancer patient, family caregivers are often inadequately prepared for or supported to take on this critical role, subsequently putting their own wellbeing at risk and, by extension, that of the patient. Exercise interventions show promise in mitigating caregiver burden and improving health outcomes for both caregivers and patients; however, the interrelationship between family caregiver and…
First-Year Implementation of the EXercise for Cancer to Enhance Living Well (Excel) Study
Barriers to exercise-oncology programs remain for those living with and beyond cancer in rural and remote communities, including geographic isolation and access to programs. The EXercise for Cancer to Enhance Living Well (EXCEL) study was designed to support exercise-oncology implementation in rural and remote communities across Canada. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the first-year reach, adoption, and implementation of the EXCEL st…
The association between physical activity and self-rated health in Atlantic Canadians
The population of Atlantic Canada is aging rapidly and has among the highest rates of chronic disease in the country. This cross-sectional study drew data from the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health (Atlantic PATH) study to investigate the association between physical activity and self-rated health among adults in this population. The results suggest that physical activity is associated with and may help to improve perceived health status…
Rural‐Urban Disparities in Total Physical Activity, Body Composition, and Related Health Indicators
PURPOSE: To describe and compare the sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics of urban and rural residents in Atlantic Canada. METHODS: Cross-sectional analyses of baseline data from the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health cohort were conducted. Specifically, 17,054 adults (35-69 years) who provided sociodemographic characteristics, measures of obesity, and a record of chronic disease and health behaviors were included in the analyse…
Associations between Neighborhood Walkability, Physical Activity, and Chronic Disease in Nova Scotian Adults
Background : While neighborhood walkability has been shown to positively influence health behaviors, less is known about its impact on chronic disease. Our aim was to examine the association between walkability and self-reported physical activity in relation to chronic health conditions in an Atlantic Canadian population. Methods : Using data from the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health, a prospective cohort study, we employed both a cross…
