Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Based on the Dietary Habits and Physical Activity of Korean Women Cancer Survivors

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