Physical activity after colorectal cancer surgery—a cross sectional study of patients with a long-term stoma

El objetivo del estudio se centra en conocer las actitudes hacia la práctica de actividad físico deportiva orientada a la salud en una muestra representativa de adolescentes españoles. Para ello, se ha efectuado un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, empleando la encuesta sobre comportamientos, actitudes y valores sobre actividad física y deportiva del Grupo AVENA. El análisis descriptivo e inferencial, nos permite obtener la opinión de 2.859 estudiantes, procedentes tanto de centros públicos como privados de cinco ciudades españolas: Granada, Madrid, Murcia, Santander y Zaragoza. Los principales resultados verifican que tanto chicos como chicas presentan una mayor orientación hacia actitudes relacionadas con el proceso (AP) de la actividad físico-deportiva que hacia actitudes referidas al resultado (AR) de dicha práctica. En ambos sexos, se produce una disminución progresiva en dicha orientación, tanto en las AP como en las AR, conforme aumenta la edad. En aquellos adolescentes que practican actividad física, la orientación hacia las actitudes es mayor que en adolescentes no practicantes. Como conclusión, las AP adquieren mayor importancia que las AR en los jóvenes adolescentes, siendo ambas mayores en chicos respecto a chicas y disminuyendo los valores de ambas conforme aumenta la edad. El conocimiento facilitado en este trabajo podría servir de apoyo para perfeccionar las diversas estrategias de promoción de la salud sobre las que asentar la adquisición de nuevos estilos de vida entre la población joven de una forma estable y duraderaPalabras clave: Actitudes; Actividad física; Adolescente.Abstract: the aim of this study was to know the attitudes toward the physical activity and sport practice oriented to health in a representative sample of Spanish adolescents. A descriptive cross-sectional study was implemented and the survey about behaviours, attitudes and values related to physical activity and sport practice developed in the AVENA study was used. The sample size was 2859 Spanish students from public and private secondary schools in 5 Spanish cities: Granada, Madrid, Murcia, Santander and Zaragoza. The main results verify that both boys and girls have a greater orientation towards process-related attitudes (PA) of physical activity and sport that outcome-related attitudes (AR) of the practice. In boys and girls, both AP and AR both genders, there is a progressive decrease when increasing the age. Adolescents who engaged in physical activity had higher levels of attitudes than non-practitioners. In conclusion, AP became more important than AR in young adolescents; both AP and AR were higher in boys than in girls and attitude values decreased with increasing age. The knowledge of attitudes might allow to develop effective and long-term successful intervention programmes for adopting healthy lifestyles in the current young people Key words: Attitudes; Physical activity; Adolescent.

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to compare health status, lifestyle habits, and perceived social support between cancer survivors and people who have never had cancer. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional multicenter study nested in phases II and III of the cluster randomized clinical trial ERIA, designed to analyze the effects of a complex primary care intervention compared with care as usual on smoking cessation, improved adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and increased physical activity. For the cross-sectional study, patients were divided into two groups: cancer survivors and people who had never had cancer (controls). Thirty eight Primary care centers Spanish provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Balearic Islands, Malaga, Seville, Salamanca, Soria, Toledo, Vigo, Vizcaya, and Zaragoza. Adults aged between 45 and 75 years with at least two risk behaviors. Patients being treated for active cancer or in end-of-life care were excluded.Primary outcomes: Sociodemographic variables, diet, physical activity, smoking, body mass index, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and self-perceived health and social support.Results: Of the 4259 people included, 190 (4.46%) were cancer survivors. Their mean±SD age was 62.8±7 years versus 58.7±8 years (P<0.01) for people who had never had cancer. Long-term sick leave was also more common in this group (11.9% vs 3.5%, P<0.001). No between-group differences were observed for smoking, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, physical activity, obesity, or perceived social support. Cancer survivors reported worse health (OR 1.82; IC95% 1.02–2.75) and were more likely to have two or more comorbid conditions (OR 1.68; 95% CI 1.18–2.39), chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.25–3.78), and depression (OR 1.65; 95% CI 1.06–2.57). In the multiple regression analysis, older age and worse self-perceived health continued to be significantly associated with having survived cancer.Conclusions: Cancer survivors have more chronic diseases, a greater likelihood of being on long-term sick leave, and worse self-perceived health than people without a history of cancer, regardless of age. The two groups perceived similar levels of social support.

(1) Background: Oxaliplatin is among the most neurotoxic anticancer drugs. Little data are available on the long-term prevalence and consequences of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), even though the third largest population of cancer survivors is made up of survivors of colorectal cancer. (2) Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 French centers to assess the prevalence of CIPN, as well as its consequences (neuropathic pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life) in cancer survivors during the 5 years after the end of adjuvant oxaliplatin chemotherapy. (3) Results: Out of 406 patients, the prevalence of CIPN was 31.3% (95% confidence interval: 26.8–36.0). Little improvement in CIPN was found over the 5 years, and 36.5% of patients with CIPN also had neuropathic pain. CIPN was associated with anxiety, depression, and deterioration of quality of life. None of the patients with CIPN were treated with duloxetine (recommendation from American Society of Clinical Oncology), and only 3.2%, 1.6%, and 1.6% were treated with pregabalin, gabapentin, and amitriptyline, respectively. (4) Conclusions: Five years after the end of chemotherapy, a quarter of patients suffered from CIPN. The present study showed marked psychological distress and uncovered a failure in management in these patients.

Abstract Introduction: Cisgender men (CM) and women (CM) present different acute cardiopulmonary (CP) adaptation to effort. The smallest arteriovenous difference in oxygen (O2) and cardiac output (CO) in CW determine a lower maximum VO2 (VO2max) than CM. CP capacity adaptation to effort of TW undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) was not yet reported. Objective: To evaluate CP capacity of TW in long-term GAHT. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 8 TW (average age of 34.0 ±4.8 yo), 8 CM and 8 CW matched on age, body mass index and activity level. All TW were non-gonadectomized subjects and were in estrogen [transdermal estradiol (n=2), oral estradiol (n=3) and conjugated estrogen (n=3)], plus cyproterone acetate (n=8) therapy in an average time of 15.6 ±8.7 years. Body composition was assessed by InBody 720, and participants’ level of physical activity by IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) short form. Total testosterone (ng/dL) levels of TW, CW and CM were 83,5 (12,0;637,0), 20,5 (12,0;41,0) and 480,5 (264,0;843,0), respectively. Hemoglobin levels of TW, CW and CM were 14,2 (13,5;14,9), 14,35 (12,8;14,7) and 15,35 (14,0;18,2), respectively. Everyone performed a CP exercise testing on a treadmill with an incremental effort. Results: Mean VO2max (L/min) in the group of TW was 2648±575.5, of CW 2128±394.0 and of CM 3235±554.0 (TWvsCW p=0.1311; TWvsCM p=0.0806; CWvsCM p=0.009). Free fat mass (FFM) of TW was 55.56±6.88 kg, CW 38.98±4,09 kg, and CM 64,98±6,29 kg (TWvsCW p<0,0001; TWvsCM p=0,024; CWvsCM p<0,0001). Analysis of VO2max/FFM (L/min/kg), TW′s rate was 46.6±6.2, CW′s was 54.6±8.4 and CM′s was 49.4±6.1 (TWvsCW p=0.0770;TWvsCM p=0.6942; CWvsCM p=0.3185). O2 pulse, VE/VO2 (ventilatory equivalents for O2) and VE/VCO2 (ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide) were similar in all groups. There was high correlation of O2pulse and free fat mass/height2 (FFM/Hgt2) of TW (r 0,925;p 0,008), not observed in CW (r 0.614;p0.105) or CM (r 0.737; p 0.037).% predicted Heart Rate (%HR) at effort was higher in TW (104) than in CW (95.8)(p=0.0221) and CM (100.3)(p=0.3334). Discussion: Aerobic capacity of TW was intermediate between CM and CW. Regards VO2 / FFM ratio, TW had a lower index than other groups. Since changes in pulmonary O2 diffusion, CO and blood circulation were ruled out as causing such data, it could be related to O2 uptake drops by the muscle. Increased sympathetic activity and %HR in TW and high correlation of O2pulse and FFM/Hgt2 make up compatible framework with exacerbation of ergoreflex. Conclusion: Our results support the finding of a VO2max similar between TW undergoing long-term GAHT and CW groups, despite the previous expose of TWs to testosterone during puberty. We hypothesized the presence of an increased ergoreflex sensitivity in TW individuals. These preliminary results should be confirmed by increasing the number of individuals studied.
