- Physical activity levels in newly diagnosed cancer patients are associated with improved Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL).
- Higher MET levels correlate with reduced nutritional and sarcopenia risk.
- Functional HRQoL scores improve with increased physical activity, including physical, role, emotional, and social functioning, as well as global health status.
- Symptom burden (fatigue, nausea, pain, etc.) decreases with higher physical activity levels.
- Early assessment of physical activity can help identify at-risk patients and support tailored rehabilitation programs.
