Body composition and its association with fatigue in the first 2  years after colorectal cancer diagnosis

ConclusionHaving more SAT was associated with more fatigue at diagnosis, while low levels of SMR were associated with more fatigue at 6  months post-diagnosis.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsOur results suggest that it may be interesting to investigate whether interventions that aim to increase SMR around the time of diagnosis may help to lower fatigue. However, more knowledge is needed to understand the mechanisms behind the association of SMR with fatigue.
