Abstract
Background: Physical activity and exercise improve function, symptom control, and health-related quality of life (QoL) for many cancer survivors; however, the evidence is limited and inconsistent in lung cancer. We examined the relationship between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and health-related QoL in a national sample of US lung cancer survivors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We defined LTPA as a self-report of engaging in any physical activity or exercise such as running, calisthenics, golf, gardening, or walking for exercise in the past 30 days, health-related QoL as the number of days of having poor physical or mental health in the past 30 days, and general health status. We analyzed using multivariable logistic regressions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Among 614 lung cancer survivors, 316 (51.5%) reported engaging in LTPA. The counts (and proportions) of participants who engaged in LTPA vs no LTPA were, respectively, 135 (42.7%) vs 63 (21.1%) for 0 days of poor physical health, 222 (70.3%) vs 174 (58.4%) for 0 days of poor mental health, and 158 (50.0%) vs 77 (25.8%) for good to excellent general health. In multivariable analyses, participating in LTPA was associated with odds ratios of 2.64 (95% CI = 1.76 to 3.96) and 1.43 (95% CI = 0.97 to 2.10) for 0 days of poor physical and mental health, respectively, and 2.61 (95% CI = 1.74 to 3.91) for good to excellent general health. Conclusions: Participating in LTPA was associated with improved health-related QoL. Interventions to promote LTPA and/or exercise-based rehabilitation may improve QoL among lung cancer survivors.
