Abstract

Introduction

After a cancer diagnosis, recommendations for those living with and beyond cancer (LWBC) are to maintain a body mass index (BMI) < 25 and avoid weight gain. This study explored factors associated with receipt of and interest in weight management advice as well as engagement in weight management programmes (WMPs) among people LWBC affected by overweight and obesity.

Methods

3456 participants living with or beyond breast, prostate or colorectal cancer and affected by overweight and obesity completed our questionnaire. Participants reported advice received on losing weight, interest in receiving weight management advice, enrolment in a lifestyle programme and their beliefs about maintaining a healthy weight to prevent cancer recurrence.

Results

Logistic regression results suggested that those who received advice were more likely to be interested in advice (OR = 1.68; 95% CI = 1.30; 2.18) and to be enrolled in a WMP (OR = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.07; 2.40). The belief that maintaining a healthy weight could prevent cancer recurrence was associated with greater interest in weight management advice (OR = 1.47; 95% CI = 1.33; 1.62) and enrolment in a programme (OR = 1.57; 95% CI = 1.25; 1.99).

Discussion

These results highlight that those who recall receiving weight management advice are more likely to be enrolled in a WMP, suggesting that advice should be offered by healthcare professionals to all those patients affected by overweight and obesity.

Conclusions

This suggests that the receipt of weight management advice may encourage people LWBC who are affected by overweight and obesity to engage with WMPs.

结直肠癌、乳腺癌或前列腺癌患者体重管理经验：一项横断面调查

在癌症诊断后，对于那些患有癌症或没有患癌症（LWBC）的人，建议保持身体质量指数（BMI） 25，避免体重增加。本研究探讨了受超重和肥胖影响的低体重人群对体重管理建议的接受和兴趣以及参与体重管理计划（wmp）的相关因素。方法3456名患有乳腺癌、前列腺癌或结直肠癌或其他类型的超重和肥胖患者完成问卷调查。参与者报告了他们收到的关于减肥的建议、对接受体重管理建议的兴趣、参加生活方式计划的情况，以及他们对保持健康体重以预防癌症复发的信念。结果Logistic回归结果显示，接受建议者更有可能对建议感兴趣(OR = 1.68；95% ci = 1.30；2.18)，并被纳入WMP (OR = 1.60；95% ci = 1.07；2.40)。认为保持健康体重可以预防癌症复发的人对体重管理建议更感兴趣(OR = 1.47；95% ci = 1.33；1.62)和项目的入学率(OR = 1.57；95% ci = 1.25；1.99)。这些结果强调，那些回忆起接受过体重管理建议的人更有可能参加WMP，这表明医疗保健专业人员应该向所有受超重和肥胖影响的患者提供建议。这表明接受体重管理建议可能会鼓励受超重和肥胖影响的低体重人群参与wmp。
