Reports on a cross-sectional study comparing the physical activity, sleep quality, and physical and mental health of cancer survivors with cancer-free individuals in medically underserved areas of rural Virginia. Evaluates the relationship between sleep quality, average sleep time, and self-reported outdoor activity with predicted mental health and quality of life. The Harvard Food Frequency Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and RAND 36-Item Health Survey were used to collect data on dietary intake, sleep quality, and physical activity.
