Thus, we investigated the role of self-reported exercise and physical activity among a cohort of kidney cancer patients and survivors using the national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). METHODS: A cross-sectional retrospective study of BRFSS (from 2016 to 2021) included survey participants who self-reported a diagnoses of kidney cancer. We used a multivariable logistic regression model analyses (MVA) to assess the outcomes of (a) 14+ days per month when mental health was not good and (b) 14+ days per month when physical health was not good. In both models, we adjusted for gender, age, number of years from being diagnosed, treatment status, income, marital status, smoking status, BMI, history of depression, history of coronary heart disease or myocardial infraction, and history of chronic heart disease. RESULTS: Of 2,632,674 survey participants, we identified 695 kidney cancer patients and survivors. Of these, 254 (36.6%) reported 0 days physical activity or exercise within the last 30 days, whereas 440 (63.4%) reported >1 day (Table 1). MVA modeling revealed significant association between self-reported activity and mental status (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.12 - 0.70, p=0.01) as well as physical health (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.25 – 0.74, p<0.01) (Table 2). CONCLUSIONS: In this kidney cancer cohort, those who reported physical activity and exercise were significantly less likely to report poor mental and physical health status. This association highlights the importance of exercise and physical activity as a modifiable lifestyle factor to improve quality of life through kidney cancer treatment and survivorship. While limited by retrospective study design and lack of granularity in disease staging and treatment modality data, this analysis is one of few offering real-world data, lending gravity to the need for further prospective research on safe and effective physical activity programs through kidney cancer treatment and survivorship.
