Prolonged sitting associated with higher mortality outcomes among cancer survivors

“I feel healthier today then I felt before I was diagnosed. I no longer have that false feeling of helplessness.“

“Thank you a hundred, maybe a thousand times more for the Anticancer Lifestyle Program. It has made a huge difference for me and my family.“

“Just completed the Anticancer Lifestyle program. Strongly encourage survivors, those looking to prevent cancer, those with risk factors, and really all of us to take this course. Most of us are unaware of how many risks exist, particularly from environmental factors. My favorite was the environment section. People get some nutrition, stress management, and exercise guidance but virtually no information about toxins and their impact.”

Articles & Research

In a study published in JAMA Oncology, researchers found that prolonged sitting was associated with higher mortality among cancer survivors.

“In this prospective cohort study of a nationally representative sample of US cancer survivors, the combination of prolonged sitting with lack of physical activity was highly prevalent and was associated with increased all-cause and cancer mortality risks. This study has provided new evidence that sedentary behavior and physical activity should be jointly considered in future observational, epidemiologic, and intervention studies.”
