Impact of Physical Activity on Ovarian Cancer Outcomes

Scientific Questions Being Studied

In this study, we hope to assess the impact of an ovarian cancer diagnosis on physical activity levels and to evaluate the association between changes in physical activity and cancer outcomes. This is important because though it is recognized that a cancer diagnosis impacts many aspects of a patients' health and wellbeing, the specific contribution of physical activity is unknown and may be able to offer prognostic information as well as an opportunity for intervention.

Project Purpose(s)

  • Disease Focused Research (Ovarian cancer)

Scientific Approaches

We plan to use the All of Us patient data set, specifically patient within the data set who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, with their available demographic, clinical, and lifestyle information. We will analyze this data with summative and comparative statistics.

Anticipated Findings

We suspect that a more pronounced decrease in physical activity following a diagnosis of ovarian cancer may be associated with worse outcomes, both in terms of quality and quantity of life. If this is the case, this information could be helpful to clinicians both as a prognostic factor and an opportunity for intervention.

Demographic Categories of Interest

This study will not center on underrepresented populations.

Impact of Physical Activity

Scientific Questions Being Studied

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well as a poorer quality of life. The main AF symptoms are fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance, short of breath, and rapid heart rates. These symptoms lead to deceased quality of life. We seek to understand the specific effect of physical activities (duration, frequency, step down) on the frequency and severity of AF symptoms, heart rate control, sleep quality, and overall health in AF patients.

Project Purpose(s)

  • Disease Focused Research (atrial fibrillation)

Scientific Approaches

All of Us data include 50% of racial and ethnic minorities and 80% of underrepresented populations in biomedical research. We plan to use machine learning technology to identify the characteristics of subpopulations.

Anticipated Findings

Analyzing data in the All of Us cohort would provide a unique opportunity to understand the health burden of patients living with AF in a broader context. This effort supports the need for rethinking AF across races and ethnicities and enable the development of effective tailored interventions for the specific racial/ethnic groups.
