Relationships Among Cognitive Function, Lifestyle, and Exercise After Cancer Treatment
Completed
Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Cognitive Impairment
In brief
The purpose of this study is to examine relationships among lifestyle behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sleep), cognitive function (i.e., memory, processing speed, and executive function), and quality of life in breast cancer patients and survivors across time. The investigators will compare the strength of these relationships across age cohorts and time since treatment and diagnosis. Participants will complete a battery of questionnaires and a set of cognitive tests on an iPad app specifically tailored for this study. A subset of participants will also wear an accelerometer for seven days. Data will be collected at baseline and 6-month follow-up. This research is critical to identifying potentially important approaches to improving health outcomes and quality of life in breast cancer patients and survivors. Previous research provides evidence of the influence of lifestyle behaviors on cognition and quality of life in healthy aging populations. However, despite data indicating cancer's negative impact on lifestyle behaviors, cognition, and quality of life, very few studies have investigated interactions among these factors in cancer patients and survivors.
