SLEEP DISTURBANCE AND FATIGUE IN BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS

CONFERENCE THEME
Chronic Disease

COLLABORATORS
Catherine R. Marinac, Sheri J. Hartman

ABSTRACT
Background/Context: Sleep disturbance and fatigue have been shown to be common concerns
among breast cancer survivors (BCS).
Study Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the associations of sleep disturbance and fatigue
with clinical and demographic characteristics and quality of life.
Methods/Design: Sleep disturbance and fatigue were assessed using the Patient Reported
Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®). Clinical and demographic
characteristics were obtained through medical charts and self-report, respectively; BMI was
calculated in clinic. Correlation analyses were used to examine associations of PROMIS scores
with demographic and clinical variables.
Setting/Subjects: Participants were BCS (n=31) with a mean age of 62 (SD= 7.7) and were
diagnosed with Stage I (65%), II (32%), or III breast cancer (3%).
Results: Sleep disturbance was inversely associated with age (r= -0.36, p=0.049) but not with
other clinical or demographic variables. Greater sleep disturbance was related to greater
cognitive concerns (r= 0.38, p=0.035), anxiety (r=0.398, p= 0.027), pain (r=0.367, p=0.043), and
lower satisfaction in social roles and activities (r= -0.437, p=0.014). Fatigue was positively
associated with cognitive concerns (r=0.533, p=0.002), pain (r= 0.624, p=0.0002) and inversely
associated with cognitive abilities (r= -0.402, p=0.025), physical function (r=-0.60, p=0.0004),
and satisfaction in social roles and activities (r=-0.63, p= 0.0001). Fatigue was not related to
any physical or demographic variables.
Conclusion: Findings suggest that younger BCS may be at higher risk for sleep disturbance and
fatigue. Sleep disturbance and fatigue are strongly related to quality of life variables, but not to
clinical and demographic characteristics.

GLUCOCORTICOID MEDIATED REGULATION OF INFLAMMATION IN HUMAN MONOCYTES
IS ASSOCIATED WITH OBESITY AND DEPRESSIVE MOOD

CONFERENCE THEME
Chronic Disease

COLLABORATORS

ABSTRACT
Background/Context: Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is most
significantly studied via glucocorticoid (GC) receptor desensitization and has been associated
with diseases such as depression and obesity, which may be physiologically related.Study
Objectives: To better understand and characterize the relationship between these health
variables and GC receptor desensitization.Setting and Subjects: 35 otherwise healthy
participants were recruited.
Methods/Design: Depressive mood was assayed via Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-Ia), obesity
via body mass index (BMI), plasma cortisol via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and
cortisol sensitivity via modulation of lippopolysaccharide stimulated monocyte tumor necrosis
factor (TNF) production in whole blood by incubation with cortisol. Sensitivity was quantified as
the slope of linear regression of percent of TNF+ monocytes at control and two concentrations
of cortisol inhibition.
Results: After controlling for age, gender, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and plasma cortisol,
multiple regression showed that overall cortisol sensitivity as quantified by regression slope is
predicted by total depressive mood (β= 0.324, p= 0.045), somatic subcomponents of depressive
mood (β= 0.469, p= 0.002), and BMI (β= 0.407, p= 0.012). When BDI-S was added as an
additional step to the BMI model, only BDI-S remained a significant independent predictor (β=
0.367, p= 0.024). When BDI-T was added instead, BMI remained the only independent predictor
(β= 0.331, p= 0.048).
Conclusions: Our results find a strong relationship between the triad of HPA dysregulation,
depression, and obesity through the inflammatory potential of monocytes. Given the epidemic
and growing prevalence of obesity, elucidating both biological and psychological underpinnings
would inform effective intervention strategies for this public health concern.
