Abstract :Introduction: This study aimed to investigate and compare the dietary, physical activity, and screen use habits of adults with and without a cancer diagnosis. Materials and Methods: This is a hospital-based case-control study. The study was conducted in 2019 at a university hospital in K…, Turkey. The study included 151 individuals, 49 in the case group and 102 in the control group, who met the inclusion criteria. Research data were collected using a data collection form. The research data were analyzed using independent samples t-test / Mann-Whitney U-test, and Chi-squared test. Odds Ratio (OR) and Cohen\\\'s d effect size were also calculated. Results: After stratification by age, there was statistical significance between the case and control groups for water consumption at age ≤55 years and coffee consumption at age ≥56 years (p<0.05). In addition, the effect sizes calculated for water and coffee were small/moderate. No statistical significance was found between the case and control groups for other dietary and physical activity habits, but an OR was obtained suggesting that liquid oils at room temperature were more protective than solid oils (OR=0.439; 95% CI=0.198-0.977). A statistically significant difference was found between the case and control groups for the variables of television viewing status and computer use time (p<0.05). The calculated ORs were less than 1 and were protective. Conclusion: Many variables thought to be associated with cancer, such as red meat consumption, fruit and vegetable intake, and active lifestyle, were not statistically significant. The relationship between cancer and dietary, physical activity, and screen use habits, which are an integral part of daily life, is still unclear and needs to be clarified.
