    Abstract It is well known that cancer and its treatment produce marked impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of cancer patients. Research concerning impact of chronotype on HRQoL in cancer patients is almost not studied yet, but the interests are growing in several diseases. Present study was carried out to explore the impact of socio-demographics, chronotype and consumption of tobacco, alcohol and sleeping medicine on HRQoL of Indian oncology patients. Self-reported Quality-of-Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) were administered to the cancer patients (N = 1000) in the native Hindi language. Results revealed that among the socio-demographic factors, only age exhibited significant negative association with physical, role and cognitive functioning and positive association with symptoms, namely fatigue and pain. Interestingly, chronotype was found to be positively associated with emotional functioning and negatively with nausea-vomiting, dyspnoea, diarrhoea and depression. Patients who consumed tobacco, alcohol or sleeping medicine exhibited lower functioning and higher symptoms. Further, treatment of cancer also produced effect on a few measures of HRQoL of patients. In conclusion, age, chronotype and consumption of tobacco, alcohol or sleeping medicine were found to be important determinants of HRQoL of the patients.

    Abstract Fifty-three cancer in-patients (37 males and 16 females) were randomly selected from the Regional Cancer Center, Pt. J.N.M. College, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Hospital, Raipur, India. Rhythms in physical activity (PA) and energy expenditure (EE) were studied non-invasively using Actical (Mini Mitter Co. Inc., USA) and compared with 24 apparently healthy subjects (11 males and 13 females). Data were gathered at 1-min epoch length for at least three to four consecutive days and were analyzed using several statistical techniques, such as Cosinor rhythmometry, ANOVA, Duncan's multiple-range test, and t-test. Most of the cancer in-patients and all control subjects exhibited a statistically significant circadian rhythm in PA and EE. However, the rhythm detection ratio was low among cancer in-patients. Patients had significantly lower 24-h average, lower amplitude, and an earlier acrophase in PA and EE rhythms. Further, significant effect of factor disease was discerned on total activity count (TAC) and total energy expenditure (TEE). TAC and TEE were significantly lower in cancer in-patients as compared to control subjects, irrespective of gender. In addition, a gradual decrement in PA intensity levels from sedentary to vigorous was validated in patients. From the present findings, it can be concluded that the factor disease might alter the temporal profiles of the PA and EE. However, further intensive studies involving more patients are required to reinforce the above conclusion.

    Abstract Rest-activity rhythm and quality of life (QoL) in three cohorts, namely (1) cancer in-patients, (2) out-patients, and (3) control subjects were studied. The patients of the former two groups were chosen randomly from the Regional Cancer Center, Raipur, India. All patients received chemotherapy for 3-4 consecutive days. The in-patients remained hospitalized for the entire period of chemotherapy plus one day post treatment. The out-patients, unlike the in-patients, went to their homes daily after treatment. Rest-activity rhythm of the patients was monitored using Actical. Quality of life (QoL) and psychological status of patients were assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and Hospital Anxiety & Depression Scale, respectively. Each subject exhibited significant circadian rhythm in rest-activity. The average values for Mesor, amplitude, peak activity, autocorrelation coefficient and dichotomy index of all three groups varied significantly between one group to the other in the following order: in-patient < out-patient < control. Further, quality of life, measured from responses on functional and symptom scales, was better off in cancer out-patients compared to the in-patients. It is concluded that hospitalization alters rest-activity rhythm parameters markedly and deteriorates QoL in cancer patients. Nevertheless, further extensive investigation is desirable to support the above speculation and to ascertain if hospitalization produces similar effects on patients suffering from diseases other than cancer.
