Abstract
Background
The cancer experienced in adolescent and young adult (AYA) could disturb developmental changes and long-term life. The current AYA guidelines and research for survivorship were developed and reported according to the general age range of 15–39 years; however, expected life events vary by diagnosed age. We aimed to examine the social, psychological, and physical well-being of AYA cancer survivors by age at diagnosis using a multinational representative dataset focusing on age at diagnosis.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study using the US and Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2007 to 2018. Participants diagnosed with any cancer aged 15–39 years and were aged > 18 years at the survey year were defined as AYA cancer survivors. AYA were classified into three groups based on their diagnosed age: adolescent survivors (diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 19, n = 45), young adult survivors (diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 29, n = 238), and late young adult survivors (diagnosed between the ages of 30 and 39, n = 539). We also selected an age-, sex-, race-, and survey year-matched general population with 1:5 ratio among participants without cancer (N = 4110).
Results
The average age of the survey was 29.1, 43.7, and 48.7 years for AYA survivors diagnosed during adolescence, young adulthood, and late young adulthood, respectively. Adolescent survivors had more non-couple marital status (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.34; 95% CI, 1.10–1.64) and unemployed (aOR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.05–1.61) compared to late young adult survivors. Comparing with the matched general, adolescent survivors were more in poor general health (aOR, 4.65; 95% CI, 2.09–10.38) and unemployed (aOR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.12–4.24) and late young adult survivors were more non-couple (aOR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.05–1.86).
Conclusion
This study provides evidence for future studies on long-term health, which may vary according to age at the time of diagnosis among AYA with cancer.
