Article Synopsis
- The study explores the physical activity (PA) patterns and correlates among African American women who are long-term breast cancer survivors, highlighting their unique health challenges such as obesity and comorbidities.
- Researchers analyzed data from 323 women, focusing on various types of PA, such as household chores and recreational activities, and found that many did not meet the recommended exercise guidelines.
- Results indicated that around 60% of participants fell short of PA recommendations, with factors like obesity and arthritis linked to lower PA levels and reduced odds of meeting exercise guidelines.
