Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed data from 12 US and European cohorts with 144 million adults to explore how leisure-time physical activity affects the risk of 26 different types of cancer, finding that higher activity levels are linked to lower risks for 13 types, including liver, lung, kidney, endometrial, and breast cancers.
  • Moderate to vigorous leisure-time physical activity was associated with a statistically significant reduction in cancer risk, with hazard ratios generally around 0.58 to 0.90 when comparing the highest activity levels to the lowest.
  • The research suggests that engaging in regular physical activity can potentially lower the risk of various cancers, but the strength of the association varies by cancer type, and the study also examined whether factors like body size or smoking status influence these relationships.

High levels of physical activity are associated with reduced rates of many types of cancer. In some cases as little as half the risk. https://t.co/p0qzqShoTc

What is the association between physical activity and cancer? The paper above found that higher levels of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of 13 types of cancer! This was true even among overweight and obese individuals. https://t.co/xiZKjDQvka https://t.co/OBWbCzXFo7
