Physical activity assessment among men undergoing genetic counseling for inherited prostate cancer: A teachable moment

360 Background: Genetic counseling (GC) and genetic testing (GT) for prostate cancer (PCA) is growing rapidly for men with or at risk for PCA. GC provides opportunities to promote a healthy lifestyle and is understudied in men. To inform future lifestyle interventions, we assessed adherence to physical activity (PA) guidelines among a sample of men undergoing PCA GC/GT at two academic institutions. Methods: Participants enrolled in the Genetic Evaluation of Men study completed a structured lifestyle questionnaire to assess frequency of PA over the past year, including intensity of aerobic activity and strength-based activities. Data were evaluated as M±SD by PCA status, PCA aggressiveness (Gleason>7, T3, or metastatic disease), family history, and body mass index (BMI) with Chi-Square contingency analyses and adjusted residuals. Demographic characteristics predictive of PA adherence with current Department of Health and Human Services and American College of Sports Medicine PA guidelines were assessed using logistic regression analyses. Alpha levels were set a priori to p
