A recent joint study conducted by investigators at the National Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society, and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health indicates that adherence of leisure-time physical activity is linked to lower risk of developing 7 cancers. Lower risk levels for the 7 identified cancers include: colon cancer in men (8%-14%), female breast cancer (6%-10%), endometrial cancer (10%-18%), kidney cancer (11%-17%), myeloma (14%-19%), liver cancer (18%-27%), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (11%-18%).
