Leukocyte Telomere Length: Diet and Exercise Trial

The goal of the research is to provide a first critical test of the novel scientific idea
that a combined diet and exercise intervention may ameliorate shortening of leukocyte
telomere length (LTL) in individuals with histories of successfully treated non-metastatic
bladder cancer (BC) or colorectal adenoma (CRA) compared to a diet only intervention.


Inclusion Criteria:

- BMI between 25.0 to <40 kg/m2 (allows for use of assessments such as DXA to be
included)

- History of histologically confirmed bladder cancer (non-metastatic) or colorectal
adenoma

- Under clinical surveillance with no evidence of disease

Exclusion Criteria:

- WHO performance status 3-4 or deemed physically unable to participate by physician

- Currently pregnant or breastfeeding, were pregnant in the previous 6 months or
breastfeeding in the previous 3 months, or planning pregnancy in the next year

- History of bariatric surgery

- Medical condition that could affect body weight (e.g., diabetes mellitus,
hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled hypothyroidism, chronic renal insufficiency, chronic
liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders including ulcerative colitis)

- Cancer diagnosis (other than bladder cancer or non-melanoma skin cancer) in the
previous 5 years

- Current congestive heart failure, signs or symptoms indicative of an increased acute
risk for a cardiovascular event

- History of myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass or angioplasty, conditions
requiring chronic anticoagulation (recent or recurrent DVT)

- Resting systolic blood pressure of >160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg

- Eating disorder that would contraindicate weight loss or physical activity

- Alcohol or substance abuse

- Current treatment for psychiatric issues (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder) or
taking daily or extended release psychotropic medications in the previous 12 months
