The aim of this study was to estimate the level of physical activity (LPA) in a large cohort of testicular cancer survivors (TCSs) and compare these results with observations from men in the same age range in the general population (GenPop). We also wanted to identify parameters that influenced physical activity. The study populations consisted of 1276 TCSs treated with surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy with or without surgery (mean observation time was 12 years), and 20391 male inhabitants from a Norwegian county (GenPop). All completed a question investigating two sub-levels of physical activity. The logistic regression analysis adjusting for different covariates, showed significantly more physically active men among the TCSs compared with the GenPop (43 versus 37%) (adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=1.32 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.10-1.58)). The results indicate that the experience of testicular cancer increases rather than reduces the LPA in TCSs, independent of treatment given.
本研究的目的是评估一大群睾丸癌幸存者(TCSs)的身体活动水平(LPA),并将这些结果与来自一般人群(GenPop)中相同年龄范围男性的观察结果进行比较。我们还想确定影响身体活动的参数。研究人群包括1276名接受手术、放疗或化疗(有或无手术)治疗的TCSs(平均观察时间为12年),以及来自挪威一个县的20391名男性居民(GenPop)。所有人都完成了一项调查身体活动两个子水平的问题。在对不同协变量进行调整的逻辑回归分析中,与GenPop相比,TCSs中身体活动的男性明显更多(43%对37%)(调整后的优势比(aOR)=1.32(95%置信区间(CI)1.10 - 1.58))。结果表明,睾丸癌经历会增加而非降低TCSs的LPA,与所接受的治疗无关。
