Scientists studied nine thousand US patients who had completed cancer treatment. 72% reported getting adequate physical activity, 68% reported no obesity, 12% reported eating enough fruits and vegetables, and 50% reported not drinking alcohol. Only 4% of participants followed all four rules. On average, patients followed two recommendations.
Women, the elderly, blacks, and those with more education were more likely to follow oncologist recommendations.
