Physical activity in first-degree relatives of breast cancer patients . This study sought to evaluate physical activity in women at moderate risk for breast cancer , the correlates of engaging in regular physical activity , and whether physical activity relates to psychological well-being . The results revealed that 55 % of women were regularly active . Logistic regression models indicated that positive affect was associated with increased and negative affect was associated with decreased overall and leisure activity . Older , married , and employed women were more likely to engage in household/occupational activity , whereas women who perceived their risk for breast cancer as high were less likely . More educated women and those with higher perceived risk were more likely to engage in leisure activity , and married women were less likely . These results suggest a need to increase activity levels in women at moderate risk for breast cancer , provide variables upon which interventions can be tailored to promote activity , and point to psychological benefits of activity in this population .
