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

#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
