TL;DR: Increased Charlson comorbidity index score was consistently associated with physical and mental HRQoL group membership relative to average maintaining groups, while behaviours such as time‐varying physical activity was associated withPhysical and mental health‐related quality of life trajectories but not mental HRZoL trajectories.

Journal ArticleDOI
Modality-specific exercise guidelines and quality of life in kidney cancer survivors: A cross-sectional study.
TL;DR: The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of meeting the combined and independent aerobic and strength exercise guidelines in kidney cancer survivors (KCS) and determine any associations with QoL.
