Clara Bodelon, Senior Principal Scientist at the American Cancer Society and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper she co-authored with colleagues published in JAMA Network Open:
“Excited to share our latest publication in JAMA Network Open!
In this analysis, we found that breast cancer survivors who were genetically predisposed to having a higher body mass index were at increased risk of all-cause mortality. We estimated that breast cancer survivors with the highest genetic predisposition needed to walk approximately an additional 14 minutes per day to be at a similar risk as breast cancer survivors with the lowest genetic predisposition. Therefore, targeted lifestyle recommendations to mitigate their genetic predisposition should be considered to lower this risk.
