Multivariable linear regression models were adjusted for current age group, race or ethnicity, current marital status, education, family income, health insurance, cancer type, years since diagnosis, body weight status, meeting physical activity guidelines, and current smoking status. HRQOL = health-related quality of life; MEPS = Medical Expenditure Panel Survey.
