Summary

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are prone to develop obesity and are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes compared to the general pediatric population. Few lifestyle modification trials have been conducted in overweight/obese CCS and it is unclear whether CCS respond similarly to lifestyle modification compared to overweight/obese individuals who have not had cancer (non-CCS). We propose a 3-year pilot study that will enroll separate cohorts of overweight/obese CCS and overweight/obese non-CCS every September into a family-based lifestyle modification program consisting of weekly sessions at the University of Minnesota. The goal of the program will be to facilitate improved physical fitness, weight management, heart health, and quality of life.
