TL;DR

This cross-sectional study analyzed 12,676 Korean women and found that cancer survivors had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome than non-cancer individuals, with risks further increased by poor dietary habits and low physical activity.

Full summary

662 CHARS

It investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) according to dietary habits and physical activity. The central result was that cancer survivors had a 1.22-fold higher odds of MetS compared to non-cancer individuals. Specific cancer types, including colorectal, cervical, and lung cancer, showed significantly increased MetS prevalence. In cancer survivors, MetS risk was further increased by higher-than-recommended caloric intake (1.31-fold), frequent eating out (2.65-fold), and low physical activity. The findings imply that dietary patterns and physical activity are important modifiable factors for managing metabolic health in cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT

Cancer is a major cause of death in Korea. Improving dietary habits and encouraging physical activity (PA) are important in managing the quality of life and health of patients. Cancer survivors (CS) often exhibit a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) than non-cancer (NC) individuals. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of MetS according to dietary habits and PA in women who survived various cancers: stomach, colorectal, breast, cervical, lung, thyroid, and others. The participants ( n = 12,676; NC: 11,673, CS: 1003) were analyzed cross-sectionally over a 6-year period. Caloric intake, eating-out frequency, breakfast frequency, dietary supplements, dietary therapy, nutritional education, participation in aerobic activity, strength training frequency, and sedentary lifestyle were evaluated. The prevalence of MetS was 1.22 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07–1.39) times higher in CS than in NC, exhibiting a 1.77-fold (95%CI, 1.14–2.74) increase in colorectal cancer, 1.72-fold (95%CI, 1.29–2.30) in cervical cancer, and 3.07-fold (95%CI, 1.14–5.31) in lung cancer. A higher-than-recommended caloric intake and frequent eating out increased MetS 1.43-fold (95%CI, 1.09–1.79) and 1.11-fold (95%CI, 1.01–1.64), respectively, in NC, and 1.31-fold (95%CI, 1.03–1.75) and 2.65-fold (95%CI, 2.29–3.07), respectively, in CS. Aerobic activity below the recommended level resulted in a 1.37-fold (95%CI, 1.13–1.71) and 1.36-fold (95%CI, 1.10–1.87) increase in NC and CS, respectively, whereas muscle strength increased 1.36-fold (95%CI, 1.08–1.70) and 1.49-fold (95%CI, 1.07–2.57), respectively, at below recommended levels. MetS was more prevalent in CS than in NC; high caloric intake, frequent eating out, low PA, and more sedentary time increased the risk of MetS.
