Abstract

This study examines the effects of a dietary and physical activity intervention on body composition and metabolic parameters in Moroccan women with breast cancer. Conducted as a pilot cohort study, 37 women with breast cancer were recruited between 2017 and 2019 at the Hassan II Regional Hospital Center and the Agadir Regional Oncology Center. Participants completed a 12-month nutrition and physical activity intervention. The mean age was 47.92 ± 8.56 years. At the end of the intervention, participants experienced a mean weight loss of 11%, resulting in a significant reduction in normal weight and obesity rates from 35.14% and 32.43% to 57% and 5%, respectively (p < 0.05). Waist and hip circumferences were reduced by 10%, and there were significant reductions in body fat and visceral fat. Improvements were also seen in metabolic markers, with significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL-C, blood glucose and HbA1c levels (p < 0.05). Lean mass was preserved and HDL-C showed a significant increase (p < 0.001).

营养干预和运动对摩洛哥乳腺癌妇女人体测量和代谢参数的影响：一项试点研究

本研究探讨了饮食和身体活动干预对摩洛哥乳腺癌妇女身体成分和代谢参数的影响。作为一项试点队列研究，2017年至2019年期间，在哈桑二世地区医院中心和阿加迪尔地区肿瘤中心招募了37名乳腺癌女性。参与者完成了为期12个月的营养和身体活动干预。平均年龄47.92±8.56岁。在干预结束时，参与者的平均体重减轻了11%，导致正常体重和肥胖率分别从35.14%和32.43%显著降低到57%和5% (p p p

期刊介绍： This timely publication reports and reviews current findings on the effects of nutrition on the etiology, therapy, and prevention of cancer. Etiological issues include clinical and experimental research in nutrition, carcinogenesis, epidemiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Coverage of therapy focuses on research in clinical nutrition and oncology, dietetics, and bioengineering. Prevention approaches include public health recommendations, preventative medicine, behavior modification, education, functional foods, and agricultural and food production policies.
