Summary: Physical activity following ovarian cancer diagnosis is generally below recommended levels, with some patients experiencing a decrease in activity levels. Patients with advanced stage disease, lower income, undergoing chemotherapy, currently smoking, or working are more likely to report lower physical activity levels and have increased odds of being insufficiently active or sedentary.

Summary: This study examined the effects of reallocating time between physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep on quality of life in cancer survivors. The findings suggest that changes in 30 minutes of these activities may not impact quality of life among survivors achieving adequate levels of physical activity and sleep. Future research should aim to recruit a larger, more representative sample and explore the role of bouted activity time.

Summary: The study found that reducing sedentary behavior and increasing moderate to vigorous physical activity are beneficial for the HRQoL and fatigue levels of CRC survivors. However, no associations were found for CIPN complaints. Furthermore, a synergistic interaction was observed between prolonged sedentary behavior and moderate to vigorous physical activity in affecting functioning scales.

Summary: This study, using a large nationally representative survey population of United States adults, found that leisure-time physical activity was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in cancer survivors. There was a non-linear relationship between the amount of physical activity and the risk, and cancer survivors should aim for at least 1 hour of physical activity per week.

Summary: Endometrial cancer survivors have a high risk of cardiovascular disease, which is attributed to cancer treatment and sub-optimal lifestyle behaviors. There is a strong association between sedentary behavior and cardiovascular disease, but guidelines for reducing sedentary behavior are lacking. Endometrial cancer survivors face unique barriers such as fatigue and limited self-efficacy. Reducing sedentary behavior and achieving recommended levels of physical activity are critical for their health.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior, and the factors associated with these, in middle-aged and elderly stroke survivors without limitations to their physical activity. The findings showed that compared to survivors of ischemic heart disease and healthy controls, stroke survivors spent less time in aerobic activity and more time in sedentary behavior, and environmental factors had a significant impact on their levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior.

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal associations of sedentary behavior, light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with body composition in colorectal cancer survivors. The results showed that less sedentary time and LPA were associated with increased handgrip strength, independent of MVPA. However, they were not associated with measures of adiposity. On the other hand, more MVPA was associated with increased adiposity and handgrip strength. Additionally, higher BMI partly mediated the associations between higher sedentary time and more fatigue.

Summary: This review summarizes the relationship between physical activity, sedentary behavior, and cancer survival and other health outcomes in cancer survivors. Physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior can lower the risk of developing cancer and improve outcomes for cancer survivors. Further research is needed to strengthen the evidence and provide more information on other types of cancer.

Summary: This study found associations between physical function and activity metrics other than MVPA among older adults, with steps showing a significant relationship with physical function in adults aged 75+. The study also found that worse function was more pronounced in participants with the lowest levels of MVPA. These findings support research on broader activity patterns for improving function in older adults.

Summary: Physical activity, sedentary behavior, and obesity are closely related to cancer incidence, with higher levels of physical activity, reduced sedentary behavior, and maintaining a healthy weight being associated with lower cancer risk. The main biological mechanisms linking these factors to cancer incidence include effects on endogenous sex steroids and metabolic hormones, insulin sensitivity, and chronic inflammation.

Summary: This study investigated the clustering of risk behaviors in adolescents with excessive weight. The results showed that these adolescents exhibited both healthier and less healthy behaviors, with some engaging in high physical activity and consuming less sugary products, while others demonstrated high sedentary behavior and low consumption of fruits and vegetables. Socio-demographic factors, such as social status and family structure, were also found to be associated with these behavior patterns.

Summary: This study assessed the association between dietary indexes and food consumption, nutrient intakes, and metabolic markers. The results showed that all dietary indexes were able to determine the nutritional quality of diets based on food consumption and nutrient intakes. The Nutri-score was associated with blood glucose levels, the Canadian Diabetes Clinical Practice Guidelines with BMI, while the Canadian 'High In' Symbol showed no significant association with any anthropometric measures or biomarkers.

Summary: The equity of nutrition interventions is crucial in reducing socioeconomic health disparities. Front-of-pack nutrition labels play a vital role in providing accessible and comprehensible information for product packages, especially for those who have limited access to other forms of nutrition information. This study demonstrates that interpretive front-of-pack nutrition labels are equitable and effective interventions.

Summary: The French NutriNet-Sante cohort has conducted 29 empirical studies on obesity, which revealed positive associations between obesity and dietary factors like preference for fatty food and ultra-processed foods, as well as certain psychological factors. Conversely, following an organic diet and having an optimistic mindset were inversely associated with obesity. These studies are crucial for understanding the etiology of obesity and developing prevention strategies.

Summary: Our understanding of the environmental pressures associated with dietary patterns has grown in the last decade, but little research has focused on the impacts of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the specific stages in the food chain that contribute the most. This study examined the environmental pressures of diets based on UPF consumption using data from a representative sample of French adults. The results showed that UPF accounted for 19% of the diet, but contributed significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, water use, land use, and energy demand. The processing and packaging stages were found to have substantial environmental impacts in UPF-rich diets.

Summary: This study investigated the longitudinal associations of meal timing, number of eating occasions, and night-time fasting duration with the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The findings showed that individuals who habitually ate breakfast after 9 AM had a higher risk of developing T2D, while the timing of the last meal was not associated with T2D incidence. Each additional eating occasion was associated with a lower risk of T2D. The duration of night-time fasting was not associated with T2D incidence, except for those who had breakfast before 8 AM and fasted for more than 13 hours overnight. This study suggests that breakfast timing affects the incidence of T2D, and an early breakfast should be considered for T2D prevention.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between trust in different sources of information on COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic and the burden of incident persistent symptoms. Using data from the French CONSTANCES population-based cohort, the study found that participants with higher trust in government/journalists had fewer incident persistent symptoms at follow-up. Trust in government/journalists and medical doctors/scientists was also associated with a lower likelihood of having at least one symptom.

Summary: This study examined the association between housing conditions, changes in professional activity, and depression during the first COVID-19 outbreak in France. It found that depression was associated with female gender, lower household income, and a history of depression. The likelihood of depression was higher with fewer rooms but had a U-shaped relationship with the number of people living together. Distance working was also associated with depression. These findings can help identify vulnerable individuals and promote mental health.
