  • associations between self reported post diagnosis physical activity Changes Body Weight Changes and psychosocial well being in breast cancer survivors
    Supportive Care in Cancer, 2015
    Co-Authors: Siobhan M Phillips, Edward Mcauley
    Abstract:

    Purpose Decreased physical activity and Weight gain post-breast cancer diagnosis are associated with negative psychosocial, health, and disease outcomes, but little is known about how these factors interact. The purpose of the present study was to conduct a preliminary examination of the association between post-diagnosis physical activity Changes, Weight Changes, and psychosocial well-being in breast cancer survivors.

    Abstract:

    Decreased physical activity and Weight gain post-breast cancer diagnosis are associated with negative psychosocial, health, and disease outcomes, but little is known about how these factors interact. The purpose of the present study was to conduct a preliminary examination of the association between post-diagnosis physical activity Changes, Weight Changes, and psychosocial well-being in breast cancer survivors. We examined the association between retrospectively collected, self-reported post-diagnosis Changes in physical activity and Body Weight and post-diagnosis fatigue, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in breast cancer survivors (N = 1,348) using univariate analyses of covariance with Bonferroni’s adjustment. After adjusting for covariates, maintaining and/or increasing physical activity post-diagnosis was significantly (p < 0.05 for all), independently associated with lower fatigue, anxiety, depression and stress and higher physical self-worth, physical, social, emotional, functional and breast cancer specific well-being and overall HRQOL (effect sizes = 0.23 to 0.60). Maintaining and/or losing Weight was significantly (p < 0.05), independently associated with lower fatigue and higher physical self-worth, physical and breast cancer-specific well-being, and overall HRQOL (effect sizes = .28 to 0.87). There were no significant interaction effects between physical activity and Body Weight Changes. This study provides preliminary data to suggest that maintaining or increasing physical activity and controlling Weight post-diagnosis may be independently, positively associated with psychosocial well-being and HRQOL in breast cancer survivors. In addition, Weight management effects may be larger and more outcome-specific while physical activity effects may be more general. Future research is warranted to replicate and confirm these findings.

  • Body Weight Changes in patients undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer influence progression free and overall survival
    Supportive Care in Cancer, 2017
    Co-Authors: Marcin Mardas, Marta Stelmachmardas, Radoslaw Madry
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Body Weight Changes in patients undergoing chemotherapy for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) influence progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). An analysis of 190 patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer after first-line chemotherapy was conducted. Changes in Body Weight were assessed by comparing measurements at baseline to those of the third and sixth cycles of chemotherapy. PFS and OS were calculated with the Kaplan–Meier method and multivariate Cox model. Significant reduction in Body Weight in advanced EOC was observed with no Changes in early EOC. Significant differences in PFS were observed in advanced EOC patients that lost more than 5 % of their Body Weight (6 months), maintained Weight (13 months), or gained more than 5 % of their Body Weight (15 months). Similarly, significant differences in OS were noted in advanced EOC at the following time points: 24.3, 42.4, and 66.2 months. No effect was reported for early EOC patients. The multivariate Cox analysis showed significant Body Weight Changes from the first to the sixth chemotherapy cycle for PFS (HR = 0.97; 95 % CI 0.95–0.99) and OS (HR = 0.94; 95 % CI 0.91–0.97) as well as from the first to the third chemotherapy cycle for OS (HR = 0.93; 95 % CI 0.88–0.98). Body Weight Changes can be recognized as a prognostic factor for PFS and OS in advanced EOC patients undergoing chemotherapy. Weight loss is associated with poorer survival while Weight gain improved outcomes.

  • Link between Food Energy Density and Body Weight Changes in Obese Adults.
    Nutrients, 2016
    Co-Authors: Marta Stelmach-mardas, Marcin Mardas, Tomasz Rodacki, Justyna Dobrowolska-iwanek, Anna Brzozowska, Jarosław Walkowiak, Agnieszka Wojtanowska-krosniak, Paweł Zagrodzki, Angela Bechthold, Heiner Boeing
    Abstract:

    Regulating the energy density of food could be used as a novel approach for successful Body Weight reduction in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to conduct a systemic review of the literature on the relationship between food energy density and Body Weight Changes in obese adults to obtain solid evidence supporting this approach. The search process was based on the selection of publications in the English language listed in public databases. A meta-analysis was performed to combine individual study results. Thirteen experimental and observational studies were identified and included in the final analysis. The analyzed populations consist of 3628 individuals aged 18 to 66 years. The studies varied greatly in terms of study populations, study design and applied dietary approaches. The meta-analysis revealed a significant association between low energy density foods and Body Weight reduction, i.e., -0.53 kg when low energy density foods were eaten (95% CI: -0.88, -0.19). In conclusions, this study adds evidence which supports the energy density of food as a simple but effective measure to manage Weight in the obese with the aim of Weight reduction.
