Associations of adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund lifestyle recommendations with health-related quality of life and fatigue in Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer survivors: results from the SURVAYA study.
Review in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeAdolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer face unique long-term social and health challenges that impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study explores the association between lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, body composition, and nutrition) and HRQoL as well as fatigue in AYA cancer survivors.
methodsThe cross-sectional SURVAYA study analyzed data from long-term AYA cancer survivors (5-20 years post diagnosis, aged 18-39 at diagnosis) in The Netherlands. Adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) lifestyle guidelines was assessed through self-reported questionnaires. HRQoL and fatigue were measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Multivariable linear regression was performed to examine associations between lifestyle adherence and HRQoL and fatigue outcomes.
resultsThe mean adherence to WCRF/AICR recommendations was low to moderate (3.2 ± 1.2, range:0.5-6.0; n = 3,668). Adherence rates varied, with 61% of participants limiting the consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks, 28% having a healthy body composition, 25% meeting fruit and vegetable intake recommendations, and 31% limiting alcohol consumption. Better adherence to lifestyle recommendations, particularly in physical activity, healthy body composition, and fruit and vegetable intake, was significantly associated with better physical functioning, global quality of life and less fatigue and pain. Chemotherapy and time since diagnosis were significant moderators of these associations.
conclusionThese findings highlight that better adherence to the WCRF/AICR recommendations is associated with better HRQoL and less fatigue in long-term AYA cancer survivors. Future research should focus on developing targeted interventions to enhance lifestyle adherence and evaluating the long-term effects of these behaviors on survivorship outcomes.
