^a32% of survivors had CNS tumors, 32% leukemia, 17% lymphoma, and 19% sarcoma;

^bpercentage meeting national guidelines are based on the following: for fruit and vegetable intake, percentages refer to those consuming 5 or more fruit and vegetable servings per day; percentages of those meeting guidelines for fiber intake are based on grams consumed as a function of assumed age-appropriate energy intakes and used cut points recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine; for dietary fat intake, those meeting national guidelines consumed 20–35% of their energy from fat; for physical activity, those meeting national guidelines are based on a single item from Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS);

^cpaired t-tests between survivor and parent means;

^dpartial correlations between survivors and parents;

^emeans and standard deviations are for Godin minutes of moderate and vigorous physical activity
