Those who exercised the most had a 26 percent lower cancer risk than those who exercised the least in an analysis of biomedical data, according to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The study had participants use a device that measures movement for seven days to measure sedentary time, step count and activity intensity.

A study led by researchers from Oxford Population Health has found that daily physical activity is linked to a lower risk of cancer. The number of steps taken daily may be more important for cancer risk than the intensity of activity. 👣 Read more 👉 https://t.co/PtUOeGxsrk

MEDIA ADVISORY: Daily physical activity, even at low intensity, is linked to lower cancer risk. An NIH study finds that the number of steps a person takes daily may be more important in reducing cancer risk than the intensity of physical activity. https://t.co/QOs0dKBX9p

Thrilled to join this @uk_biobank panel to share my work on cancer epidemiology and tools from the @OxWearables group! We’ll be demystifying analyses on UKB-RAP—no magic wands required 🪄🧙
We’ve gathered a group of @uk_biobank experts to demystify running analyses on UKB-RAP. The speakers will discuss the strategies & tools they use on the platform. Register here: https://t.co/BFl4l2GSCV

#ICYMI: Smoking is generally associated with #lungcancer but Shreves et al identified geographic areas with low smoking prevalence and high lung cancer #mortality. Factors other than smoking, e.g. environmental risks, need to be evaluated in these areas. https://t.co/5EsfdkqRjI

🚨Publication Alert🚨Check out #NIHOxCam scholar @AlainaShreves’ new @CEBP_AACR paper that identifies US counties where factors aside from smoking may be driving lung cancer mortality, highlighting the need for further studies into environmental & alt risk factors @NCIEpiTraining
