Introduction: Higher diet quality and active lifestyle habits are associated with decreased risk of cancer mortality in secondary prevention. Cancer survivors may benefit from health-related interventions. Aim: The aim was to consider and improve eating habits and physical exercise level in cancer survivors. Methods: Were enrolled 26 breast and colon overweight cancer survivors (from 41 to 75 ys, height 164±9 cm) on a annual program consisted in nutritional and physical exercise advices. Weight, body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences, skinfold for estimation of fat mass and Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) for hydration status were assessed and each subject received a food diary and a accelerometer on the first visit (T0). After a week were evaluate eating habits and active lifestyle. Subject received personal corrections on nutritional issues and on their own active lifestyle on the basis of the American Cancer Society’s Guidelines. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA test. Results: The following results were observed: - from the analysis of food diaries, it emerges that fat and sodium consumption was high with low intake of fruits and vegetables at T0; - after 6 months (T6) the anthropometrics and hydration parameters showed a variation (weight T0: 73.28±16.11, T6: 72.10±15.00 kg p<0.01; total water T0: 50.94±6.51, T6:51.78±7.51 % p<0.05; extra-cellular water T0: 47.78±4.70, T6: 47.98±4.90 % p<0.01); - after 12 months (T12) the program had a significant effect (weight T0: 73.28±16.11, T12: 71.85±14.78 kg p<0.02, BMI T0: 27.38±6.51, T12: 26.86±6.10 kg/m2 p<0.05; waist circumference T0: 87.96±15.21, T12: 86.38±13.16 cm p<0.05). Conclusions: In this population findings suggest the utility of nutritional advice along with physical exercise, to improve nutritional status and body composition. Variation in weight, BMI, waist circumference, total water and extra-cellular water, are been useful for reducing risk of cancer mortality in secondary prevention

Abstract
Introduction: Higher diet quality and active lifestyle habits are associated with decreased risk of cancer mortality in secondary prevention. Cancer survivors may benefit from health-related interventions. Aim: The aim was to consider and improve eating habits and physical exercise level in cancer survivors. Methods: Were enrolled 26 breast and colon overweight cancer survivors (from 41 to 75 ys, height 164±9 cm) on a annual program consisted in nutritional and physical exercise advices. Weight, body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences, skinfold for estimation of fat mass and Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) for hydration status were assessed and each subject received a food diary and a accelerometer on the first visit (T0). After a week were evaluate eating habits and active lifestyle. Subject received personal corrections on nutritional issues and on their own active lifestyle on the basis of the American Cancer Society’s Guidelines. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA test. Results: The following results were observed: - from the analysis of food diaries, it emerges that fat and sodium consumption was high with low intake of fruits and vegetables at T0; - after 6 months (T6) the anthropometrics and hydration parameters showed a variation (weight T0: 73.28±16.11, T6: 72.10±15.00 kg p<0.01; total water T0: 50.94±6.51, T6:51.78±7.51 % p<0.05; extra-cellular water T0: 47.78±4.70, T6: 47.98±4.90 % p<0.01); - after 12 months (T12) the program had a significant effect (weight T0: 73.28±16.11, T12: 71.85±14.78 kg p<0.02, BMI T0: 27.38±6.51, T12: 26.86±6.10 kg/m2 p<0.05; waist circumference T0: 87.96±15.21, T12: 86.38±13.16 cm p<0.05).
