Background
Data on primary hypothyroidism and its long‐term impact on the health, cognition, and quality of life (QOL) of childhood cancer survivors are limited. This study examined the prevalence of and risk factors for primary hypothyroidism and its associations with physical, neurocognitive, and psychosocial outcomes.
Methods
This was a retrospective study with a cross‐sectional health outcome...
Background
The objective of this study was to characterize chronic disease, health‐related quality of life (HRQOL), emotional distress, and social attainment among long‐term survivors of neuroblastoma.
Methods
Chronic health conditions among 136 ≥10‐year neuroblastoma survivors (median age, 31.9 years; range, 20.2‐54.6 years) and 272 community controls (median age, 34.7 years; range, 18.3‐59.6 years)...
Introduction
We aimed to determine the prevalence of self‐reported adverse health status among childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors and to identify associations between components of physical fitness and health status.
Methods
Participants included 365 ALL survivors (mean age at evaluation of 28.6 ± 5.9 years) and 365 age‐, sex‐, and race‐matched community controls. Self‐report...
BACKGROUNDChildhood cancer survivors (CCSs) are at risk for obesity. The purpose of this project was to determine which clinical measures of body composition are most accurate among CCSs in comparison with dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry (DXA).
METHODSThe agreement between the body mass index (BMI), skinfold percent body fat, and waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) and DXA was evaluated among 1361 CCSs...
BACKGROUND:Although reductions in bone mineral density are well documented among children during treatment for cancer and among childhood cancer survivors, little is known about the long‐term risk of fracture. The objective of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of and risk factors for fractures among individuals participating in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS).
METHODS:Analyses...
