In this study, we found an association between lack of physical activity and shorter TL in a large cross-sectional sample of breast cancer survivors. Adjusting for the impact of age, women reporting no physical activity had significantly shorter TL than women who reported engaging in moderate to vigorous activity. The mean difference between women who were and were not physically active was 270 bp. Research by Slagboom et al. demonstrated that the average decrease in TL was 31 bp per year
