In breast cancer survivors (BCS), the contemporaneous increase of sedentary time and reduction of physical activity (PA) requires early attention because it has negative consequences for their health. Aims of the study were to investigate: a) the correlations between PA, sedentarism, and health-related measures; b) the association between different patterns of daily activity and health-related outcomes. Two hundred and nineteen BCS (50.98 ± 6.28) were selected for this study. Psychological, anthropometric, endocrine, sleeping, and both daily sedentary time and PA variables were considered. Sedentarism and PA have opposite correlations with anthropometric variables, anxiety, depression, morning salivary cortisol, and sleeping characteristics. The first favors pathological values and the latter favors normal values. Regression tree analysis showed the impact of different daily sedentary time and PA combinations on the investigated variables and allowed the individualization of their optimal combination for health. Our results could be useful to healthcare providers and BCS.
在乳腺癌幸存者（BCS）中，久坐时间的同时增加和体力活动（PA）的减少需要引起早期关注，因为这对他们的健康有负面影响。本研究的目的是调查：a）PA、久坐行为与健康相关指标之间的相关性；b）不同日常活动模式与健康相关结果之间的关联。本研究共选择了 219 名 BCS（50.98±6.28）。考虑了心理、人体测量、内分泌、睡眠以及日常久坐时间和 PA 变量。久坐行为和 PA 与人体测量变量、焦虑、抑郁、晨唾液皮质醇和睡眠特征呈相反的相关性。前者有利于病理值，后者有利于正常值。回归树分析显示了不同日常久坐时间和 PA 组合对所研究变量的影响，并允许对其进行个体化，以达到最佳的健康组合。我们的研究结果可能对医疗保健提供者和 BCS 有用。
