BACKGROUND: Change in health behaviors can occur among @entity1 newly diagnosed with @entity3821 ( @entity3821 ). We sought to understand whether partnership status and @entity159 ( @entity159 ) affected behavioral changes in body weight, physical activity, @entity285 consumption, and smoking. METHODS: The Wisconsin In @entity2735 Cohort (WISC) study comprises 1,382 @entity1 diagnosed with @entity3821 with information on demographics, @entity159 factors, and pre- and post- @entity3821 diagnosis health-related behaviors. @entity2357 models were used to determine the association between partnership status, education, and income with change in behavior variables. RESULTS: Higher educational attainment was associated with lower likelihood of stopping physical activity [OR, 0.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.32-0.63; college vs. high school degree], or starting to drink @entity285 (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.15-0.80). Results suggested that higher family income was associated with lower likelihood of gaining >5% body mass index (P = 0.07) or stopping physical activity (P = 0.09). Living with a partner was not strongly associated with behavior changes. CONCLUSION: Higher educational attainment and higher income, but not living with a partner, were associated with positive health behaviors after a @entity3821 diagnosis. IMPACT: The associations between higher educational attainment and, to a lesser extent, higher income with positive health behaviors underscore the importance of considering @entity159 when identifying those at risk for negative behavioral change after @entity3821 diagnosis.
