Studies have shown that cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with cancer prevention effects.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen-rich blood to skeletal muscles during physical activity.
A research team led by Professor Aaron Oneruf of the Department of Pediatrics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, announced the results of a study that showed that strong cardiorespiratory fitness lowered the risk of developing many site-specific cancers, including liver cancer and lung cancer, Health Day News reported. Reported on the 19th.
The researchers found this after tracking the medical records of 1,078,000 men who were drafted between 1968 and 2005 for an average of 33 years.
Of these, 84,117 were diagnosed with at least one site-specific cancer during the follow-up period.
Overall, a linear association of higher cardiorespiratory fitness scores with lower risk of site-specific cancer was found.
A linear relationship is one in which the direction and proportion between cause and effect are statistically constant.
Cause and effect flow in only one direction and the ratio of effect to cause is constant.
Specifically, men with good cardiorespiratory fitness had a 19% lower incidence of head and neck cancer, 39% esophageal cancer, 21% stomach cancer, 12% pancreatic cancer, 40% liver cancer, 18% colon cancer, 20% kidney cancer, and 42% lung cancer. .
However, the incidence of prostate cancer was 7% higher and the incidence of malignant skin cancer was 31% higher.
The research team explained that this result shows that good cardiorespiratory fitness can lower the risk of most site-specific cancers.
The findings were published in the latest issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
