Baseline characteristics by cohort

Measure
Obesity Intervention
n=40 Participants
Personalized 28-day Dietary Intervention and Activity and Exercise Intervention with the goal to reduce fat gain and lean muscle loss while inducing an overall negative energy balance. Dietary Intervention: Beginning at time of diagnosis, the dietary component of the intervention uses a personalized menu to implement high protein, moderate fat, and low glycemic index/high fiber diet to achieve a minimum net -10% daily caloric deficit during the induction phase of chemotherapy. Activity and Exercise Intervention: Beginning at the time of diagnosis, the exercise and activity component uses an "activity menu" to implement a target level of 200 minutes per week of moderate exercise activity (as estimated by metabolic equivalents) during the induction phase of chemotherapy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 days

Population: A total of 392 visits with the PT or RD were expected to be completed as part of the the study intervention.

Assess feasibility of incorporating the intervention into induction chemotherapy as defined by \>80% of overall scheduled study visits successfully completed. The expected number of overall visits is equal to the sum of total visits scheduled with the physiotherapist (PT) or the registered dietitian (RD). The measure was calculated as the total # expected visits/completed visits.
