Abstrakt: Background: Postmenopausal women with cancer experience an accelerated physical dysfunction beyond what is expected through aging alone due to cancer and its treatments. The aim of this study was to determine whether declines in physical function after cancer diagnosis are associated with all-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 8068 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative with a cancer diagnosis and who had physical function assessed within 1 year of that diagnosis. Self-reported physical function was measured using the 10-item physical function subscale of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. Cause of death was determined by medical record review, with central adjudication and linkage to the National Death Index. Death was adjudicated through February 2022.
Results: Over a median follow-up of 7.7 years from cancer diagnosis, 3316 (41.1%) women died. Our results showed that for every 10% difference in the physical function score after cancer diagnosis versus pre-diagnosis, all-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality were reduced by 12% (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.88, 95% confidence interval  [95% CI] = 0.87 to 0.89 and HR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.86 to 0.91, respectively). Further categorical analyses showed a significant dose-response relationship between postdiagnosis physical function categories and mortality outcomes (P < .001 for trend), where the median survival time for women in the lowest physical function quartile was 9.1 years (Interquartile range [IQR] = 8.6-10.6 years) compared with 18.4 years (IQR = 15.8-22.0 years) for women in the highest physical function quartile.
Conclusion: Postmenopausal women with low physical function after cancer diagnosis may be at higher risk of mortality from all causes and cancer-related mortality.
