Lifestyle maintenance is a crucial condition before and after lung cancer disease. According to the previous research in the scientific databases, the effect of the interaction between socioeconomic and demographic factors on the lifestyle of lung cancer patients in Southern Morocco regions remains unexamined. Accordingly, this study was designed to examine the relationship between socioeconomic factors, demographic factors, and the lifestyle of lung cancer patients.
A total of 133 patients with lung cancer were divided into 103 men and 30 women with a sex ratio of 3.43 and ages varying between 28 and 82 years, and they served as informants for the study and filled in a questionnaire to provide information on their sociodemographic background, various economic characteristics, and their lifestyle. These patients have also been submitted to an anthropometric examination following the standardized procedure recommended by the World Health Organization. The survey was conducted from July 2013 to March 2015 at the Oncology and Radiotherapy Department, at Mohammed VI Hospital Center in Marrakech, Morocco.
The preliminary results showed that the average age of patients was 59 ± 9 years. A proportion of 81% lived in the Marrakech-Safi region and 19% lived in four other southern regions. Among the patients, 6% were smokers, while 14% were nonsmokers and 80% were ex smokers. Following the discovery of the disease, 26% revealed that they had sleep disorders and 98% were reported to have a lack of appetite. Obesity, normal weight, and underweight were also taken as criteria to categorize the patients; thus, obese informants represented 23% of the total number, those having normal weight reached 67% and the patients having underweight represented 10%.
Sociodemographic variables and various economic characteristics were shown to have a negative impact on the lifestyle of lung cancer patients.
生活方式的维持是肺癌疾病前后的关键条件。根据科学数据库中的先前研究,摩洛哥南部地区社会经济和人口因素对肺癌患者生活方式的相互影响作用仍未得到检验。因此,本研究旨在检验社会经济因素、人口因素与肺癌患者生活方式之间的关系。
共有 133 名肺癌患者分为 103 名男性和 30 名女性,男女比例为 3.43,年龄在 28 至 82 岁之间,他们作为研究的信息提供者,填写了一份问卷,提供了他们的社会人口统计学背景、各种经济特征和生活方式的信息。这些患者还按照世界卫生组织推荐的标准化程序接受了人体测量检查。该调查于 2013 年 7 月至 2015 年 3 月在摩洛哥马拉喀什的穆罕默德六世医院肿瘤科和放射治疗科进行。
初步结果显示,患者的平均年龄为 59±9 岁。81%的人居住在马拉喀什-萨菲地区,19%的人居住在其他四个南部地区。在患者中,6%是吸烟者,14%是非吸烟者,80%是曾经吸烟者。在发现疾病后,26%的患者报告有睡眠障碍,98%的患者报告食欲不振。肥胖、正常体重和体重不足也被作为分类患者的标准;因此,肥胖信息提供者占总数的 23%,正常体重的信息提供者占 67%,体重不足的患者占 10%。
人口统计学变量和各种经济特征被证明对肺癌患者的生活方式有负面影响。
