Popis: Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at high risk of developing treatment-related late effects, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Late effects can be exacerbated by low physical activity (PA) levels. Relationships between PA and cardiovascular risk factors during childhood have not been well described in CCS. Procedure PA and cardiovascular risk factors were measured cross-sectionally in 319 CCS and 208 sibling controls aged 9–18 years. Comparisons between CCS and controls and associations of outcomes with PA (dichotomized at 60 min/day or treated as continuous) were performed with linear regression. Results Among CCS, the high PA group had lower percent fat mass (24.4% vs. 29.8%, P
