Parent and child physical activity as possible predictors of quality of life in pediatric brain tumor patients: a dyadic analysis
This study demonstrated that in children diagnosed with a PBT, child PA levels are significantly associated with their overall QoL, and parents' PA is not associated with their child's QoL. These findings highlight the need for clinical interventions that promote PA that is tailored to the needs of this population. Future research should explore approaches for family-based interventions to enhance QoL.
