Abstract

Purpose This study examined relationships between sedentary behavior accumulated in different bout durations and quality of life (QoL) among breast cancer survivors.Methods Postmenopausal breast cancer survivors completed the Short Form Health Survey to assess QoL and wore an accelerometer to measure sedentary behavior and physical activity between August 2011 and May 2013.Results Participants (n = 134) averaged 509.7 min/day in sedentary time with 285.2 min/day in short bouts (<20 min) and 224.5 min/day long bouts (≥20 min). Linear regression models indicated that greater total sedentary time was significantly associated with worse physical QoL (b = -0.70, p = 0.02) but not mental QoL (p = 0.92). Models that examined the accumulation of sedentary time in short bouts and long bouts together showed that time in long sedentary bouts was significantly related to physical QoL (b = -0.72, p = 0.02), while time in short bouts was not (p = 0.63). Moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) was a significant effect modifier of the relation between time spent in long sedentary bouts and physical QoL (p = 0.028) such that greater time in long bouts was associated with worse physical QoL only among women with lower levels of MVPA.Conclusions Findings indicate that time spent in long sedentary bouts is associated with worse physical QoL among breast cancer survivors who do not engage in high levels of MVPA. Future research should examine reducing sedentary time as a potential strategy to improve physical QoL.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Psychosocial interventions increase adjustment to disease and uncertainty.

    “increasing adjustment to disease and uncertainty [76, 85].”

    From Empowerment in the treatment of fatigue in breast cancer patients (2021) · cites this paper as [85]

    The Background section says physical activity can improve psychosocial health outcomes, including quality of life, but does not address psychosocial interventions improving adjustment to disease or uncertainty. Searches for the claim’s wording and for adjustment, uncertainty, and psychosocial intervention found no supporting passage in our copy; page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.76)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Psychosocial interventions improve patients' ability to manage emotional distress and short-term adaptive coping (with anxiety).

    “Scientific evidence shows that psychosocial interventions result in an improved ability of patients to manage emotional distress and short-term adaptive coping [76].”

    From Empowerment in the treatment of fatigue in breast cancer patients (2021) · cites this paper as [85]

    The Results section examines sedentary behavior and physical and mental health scores; it does not assess psychosocial interventions or coping. Searches for emotional distress, adaptive coping, and anxiety found no passage in our copy reporting the claimed improvement. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
