Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of age (65 years) and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT, presence or absence) as factors that may predict changes in body composition and fitness following a 24-week exercise program in prostate cancer patients.Methods One hundred twenty-one men were randomly allocated to either: (1) aerobic exercise (AE), (2) resistance exercise (RE), or (3) usual care (UC). Body composition was assessed by DXA. Aerobic fitness was assessed through a maximal treadmill test. Muscular strength was assessed by leg extension and bench press using the eight-repetition maximum test. Responses were compared between younger (65 years) patients with or without ADT.Results There did not appear to be an interaction between age and ADT on body composition or fitness, nor were there any significant changes in body composition for participants 65 years, lean mass decreased in AE (p=0.013) and UC (p=0.006), but was preserved in RE. In participants receiving ADT, there was a decrease in lean mass in AE (p=0.003) and UC (p
