ª Crude regression coefficient by simple linear regression, ^b Adjusted regression coefficient by multiple linear regression for age, BMI, cancer stage at diagnosis, duration since diagnosis, education level, working status, waking hours and MVPA. ^c Adjusted regression coefficient by multiple linear regression for age, BMI, cancer stage at diagnosis, duration since diagnosis, education level, working status, waking hours, sedentary time and MVPA. ^d Adjusted regression coefficient by multiple linear regression for age, BMI, cancer stage at diagnosis, duration since diagnosis, education level, working status, waking hours and sedentary time. * Significant p-value (< 0.05) for unadjusted variables. ** Significant p-value (< 0.05) for adjusted variables. MVPA Moderate to vigorous physical activity, EE Energy expenditure (Metabolic Equivalent of Task hours)
