Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in adult survivors of child cancer using DeXA scan  The assessments will be conducted after obtaining the consent of the study, in the same visit in After Completion Therapy clinic (ACT Clinic). The standard assessment at each visit and the additional study assessments will be done once after consent is obtained. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. The proportion of survivors vs siblings complying with dietary & physical activity
recommendations as laid down by the WCRF/AICR recommendations.

2. The proportion of obese vs non-obese survivors with adverse health outcomes (diabetes
mellitus, hypertension, pre-hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, subsequent
neoplasms, frailty, pre-frailty, exercise intolerance, moderate- severe disability on healthrelated quality of life) 
The assessments will be conducted after obtaining the consent of the study, in the same visit in After Completion Therapy clinic (ACT Clinic). The standard assessment at each visit & the additional study assessments will be done once after consent is obtained.

Brief Summary  

Childhood cancer survivors also commonly experience obesity, changes in body composition, and metabolic syndrome, which increases their risk of cardiovascular disease. Factors contributing to these issues include the type of cancer treatment received, poor dietary habits, lack of physical activity, and alterations in hormones and inflammation markers.  


Despite guidelines recommending healthy lifestyles for cancer survivors, many childhood cancer survivors struggle to adhere to them. However, adopting healthier habits, including better nutrition and increased physical activity, can help prevent or delay the onset of chronic conditions like metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.  


Identifying biomarkers and biological mechanisms associated with these conditions could aid in developing prevention strategies. Precise measures of body composition, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), are essential for evaluating obesity and its associated risks accurately.  


This study aims to investigate sarcopenic obesity prevalence and related factors in adult survivors of childhood cancer at Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH). The hypothesis suggests that Indian survivors may have higher sarcopenic obesity rates and suboptimal dietary and physical activity patterns compared to the general population, leading to adverse metabolic changes.
