Exploration of the impact of participation in a multidisciplinary family lifestyle intervention on exercise and diet quality during treatment for childhood cancer: the VIE program
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The adoption of protective health behaviors, such as physical activity (PA) and healthy nutritional practices during childhood cancer treatments should be encouraged. This study aimed to document PA levels and diet quality before and after a multidisciplinary family lifestyle intervention, and to assess whether differences in PA levels and diet quality were associated with the degree of participation in the intervention. METHODS: A multidisciplinary intervention (exercise intervention, nutritional, psychosocial support) was offered to families of children receiving treatments for childhood cancer. PA levels were assessed by self-reported total, moderate, and vigorous intensity minutes of physical activity. Diet quality was assessed using a dietary quality indicator. Participation in the intervention was measured by overall and domain-specific points of contact. We used non-parametric tests to evaluate changes over time and differences with an ad hoc comparison group. RESULTS: In 38 participants, we found that there was a significant difference in total minutes of PA pre- and post-intervention (p = 0.022, r = 0.27), but no difference in diet quality (p = 0.136, r = 0.19). We found that minutes of vigorous intensity PA improved rather than deteriorated (OR = 2.19, 95%CI: 1.13–4.25). Improvements in minutes of vigorous intensity PA were associated with participation in the intervention. CONCLUSION: In its current form, this multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention is associated with limited improvements in PA. Before testing its effects in studies with adequate statistical power, the program should be refined to limit heterogeneity in levels of participation and optimize its active ingredients.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
