Physical Activity and Obesity in Canadian Cancer Survivors.

The article presents a study which provides population-based estimates of the risk factors, such as physical activity and obesity, in Canadian cancer survivors. Analysis of the data from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey suggests that cancer survivors have low levels of physical activity and that a high prevalence of obesity may place them at high risk for poorer disease outcomes. Findings recommend a population-based interventions that would improve the health of cancer survivors.
