Summary

Background: The lifestyle of children with oncological diseases can exert a profound influence on their long-term health outcomes, primarily due to the potential emergence of late treatment-related effects.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the lifestyle of children with oncological diseases during the remission period, while also assessing differences in lifestyle between children in remission and their healthy peers. Additionally, we sought to evaluate these differences while considering the factor of gender among the participants.

Methods: The research sample comprised a total of 60 subjects, divided into a research group and a control group. The research group consisted of 23 children in remission who underwent active oncological treatment at the Department of Pediatric Oncology, University Hospital in Brno. The control group consisted of their 37 healthy peers. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire constructed from standardized items focusing on the lifestyle of children and adolescents, as utilized in the international study, Health Behaviour of School-Aged Children.

Result: Overall, children with oncological diseases in remission did not exhibit significant differences in lifestyle compared to their healthy peers. However, a subgroup analysis among boys revealed notable distinctions between the studied groups.

Conclusions: These findings suggest the importance of considering gender when designing intervention and educational programs related to the lifestyle of children with oncological diseases in remission.
