目的：检查癌症诊断后生活方式行为的变化以及医学和人口对这些变化的影响。方法：成年癌症幸存者 (n=352) 完成了一项调查，包括人口统计、医疗和生活方式行为改变问题。结果：结果显示，自癌症诊断以来，46%的吸烟者戒烟，47%改善了饮食习惯，30.1%减少了运动。改变生活方式行为的成年癌症幸存者各不相同，具体取决于各种人口和医疗变量以及医生的建议。结论：从我们的数据来看，成人癌症诊断可能对吸烟和饮食产生积极影响，但对运动产生负面影响。
Objective: To examine changes in lifestyle behaviors after a cancer diagnosis and medical and demographic influences on such changes. Methods: Adult cancer survivors (n=352) completed a survey including demographic, medical, and lifestyle behavior change questions. Results: Results showed that since cancer diagnosis, 46% of smokers quit smoking, 47% improved their dietary habits, and 30.1% exercised less. Adult cancer survivors who changed their lifestyle behaviors varied, depending on various demographic and medical variables and physician recommendation. Conclusion: It appears from our data that cancer diagnosis in adults may have a positive influence on smoking and diet and a negative influence on exercise.
