Sexual dysfunction is common in endometrial cancer survivors (ECS). Our group previously tested a six-month exercise intervention in ECS. We performed a secondary analysis to determine intervention's impact on sexual health.We studied 100 post-treatment Stage I-IIIa sedentary ECS who participated in a non-controlled, single-arm, home-based exercise intervention utilizing telephone counseling, printed material, and pedometers. Quality-of-life and physical activity measures were collected at baseline and six months. Sexual function (SF) and sexual interest (SI) scores were extracted from the QLACS questionnaire.Baseline SF and SI were lower in survivors with less than a four-year college degree (P<0.001). Baseline SI was higher in survivors who were married or living with a significant other (P=0.012). No significant differences in SF or SI were observed based on obesity status, race, time since diagnosis, or treatment type. Post-intervention, mean SF score improved (P=0.002), 51
