What is Effectiveness of Diet and Physical Activity Interventions Amongst Adults Attending Colorectal and Breast Cancer Screening: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis about?

## Abstract ## Purpose To estimate the effectiveness of tailored physical activity and dietary interventions amongst adults attending colorectal and breast cancer screening. ## Methods Five literature databases were systematically searched to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of tailored physical activity and/or dietary interventions with follow-up support initiated through colorectal and breast cancer screening programmes. Outcomes included markers of body fatness, physical activity, and dietary intake. Mean differences (MDs) or standardised mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using random effects models. ## Results Five RCTs met the inclusion criteria encompassing a total of 722 participants. Diet and physical activity interventions led to statistically significant reductions in body mass (MD − 1.6 kg, 95% CI − 2.7 to − 0.39 kg; I^2^ = 81%; low quality evidence), body mass index (MD − 0.78 kg/m^2^, 95% CI − 1.1 to − 0.50 kg/m^2^; I^2^ = 21%; moderate quality evidence), and waist circumference (MD − 2.9 cm, 95% CI − 3.8 to − 1.91; I^2^ = 0%; moderate quality evidence), accompanied by an increase in physical activity (SMD 0.31, 95% CI
