We used multivariable Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for associations of leisure-time physical activity with incidence of 26 types of cancer. Leisure-time physical activity levels were modeled as cohort-specific percentiles on a continuous basis and cohort-specific results were synthesized by random-effects meta-analysis. Hazard ratios for high vs low levels of activity are based on a comparison of risk at the 90th vs 10th percentiles of activity. The data analysis was performed from January 1, 2014, to June 1, 2015.</p><h3>Exposures</h3><p>Leisure-time physical activity of a moderate to vigorous intensity.</p><h3>Main Outcomes and Measures</h3><p>Incident cancer during follow-up.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>A total of 1.44 million participants (median [range] age, 59 [19-98] years; 57% female) and 186 932 cancers were included. High vs low levels of leisure-time physical activity were associated with lower risks of 13 cancers: esophageal adenocarcinoma (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.37-0.89), liver (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.98), lung (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.71-0.77), kidney (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.70-0.85), gastric cardia (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.64-0.95), endometrial (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.68-0.92), myeloid leukemia (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.70-0.92), myeloma (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.72-0.95), colon (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.77-0.91), head and neck (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.78-0.93), rectal (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80-0.95), bladder (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82-0.92), and breast (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.87-0.93). Body mass index adjustment modestly attenuated associations for several cancers, but 10 of 13 inverse associations remained statistically significant after this adjustment. Leisure-time physical activity was associated with higher risks of malignant melanoma (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.16-1.40) and prostate cancer (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03-1.08). Associations were generally similar between overweight/obese and normal-weight individuals. Smoking status modified the association for lung cancer but not other smoking-related cancers.</p><h3>Conclusions and Relevance</h3><p>Leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower risks of many cancer types. Health care professionals counseling inactive adults should emphasize that most of these associations were evident regardless of body size or smoking history, supporting broad generalizability of findings.</p>"/><meta name="citation_journal_title" content="JAMA Internal Medicine"/><meta name="citation_journal_abbrev" content="JAMA Intern Med"/><meta name="citation_volume" content="176"/><meta name="citation_issue" content="6"/><meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2016/06/01"/><meta name="citation_issn" content="2168-6106"/><meta name="citation_publisher" content="American Medical Association"/><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Leisure time physical activity and mortality: a detailed pooled analysis of the dose-response relationship.; citation_author=Arem H; citation_author=Moore SC; citation_author=Patel A; citation_journal_title=JAMA Intern Med; citation_year=2015; citation_volume=175; citation_issue=6; citation_pages=959-967; "/><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_author=World Cancer Research Fund, American Institute for Cancer Research; citation_publisher=American Institute for Cancer Research, Washington, DC; citation_title=Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective; citation_year=2007; "/><meta name="citation_reference" content="American Cancer Society.

We used multivariable Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for associations of leisure-time physical activity with incidence of 26 types of cancer. Leisure-time physical activity levels were modeled as cohort-specific percentiles on a continuous basis and cohort-specific results were synthesized by random-effects meta-analysis. Hazard ratios for high vs low levels of activity are based on a comparison of risk at the 90th vs 10th percentiles of activity. The data analysis was performed from January 1, 2014, to June 1, 2015.</span></p><p><strong>Exposures</strong> <span>Leisure-time physical activity of a moderate to vigorous intensity.</span></p><p><strong>Main Outcomes and Measures</strong> <span>Incident cancer during follow-up.</span></p><p><strong>Results</strong> <span>A total of 1.44 million participants (median [range] age, 59 [19-98] years; 57% female) and 186 932 cancers were included. High vs low levels of leisure-time physical activity were associated with lower risks of 13 cancers: esophageal adenocarcinoma (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.37-0.89), liver (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.98), lung (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.71-0.77), kidney (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.70-0.85), gastric cardia (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.64-0.95), endometrial (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.68-0.92), myeloid leukemia (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.70-0.92), myeloma (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.72-0.95), colon (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.77-0.91), head and neck (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.78-0.93), rectal (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.80-0.95), bladder (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82-0.92), and breast (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.87-0.93). Body mass index adjustment modestly attenuated associations for several cancers, but 10 of 13 inverse associations remained statistically significant after this adjustment. Leisure-time physical activity was associated with higher risks of malignant melanoma (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.16-1.40) and prostate cancer (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03-1.08).

Lastly, adjustment for dietary factors resulted in modest increases in HRs for esophageal adenocarcinoma (7%), liver cancer (5%), and rectal cancer (5%), but for other physical activity–associated cancers, the attenuation was minimal (<5%) (eTable 8 in the <a class="supplement-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-supplemental" href="#note-IOI160026-1">Supplement</a>).</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816256"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Discussion </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816257"></a> <p class="para">In this pooled analysis of 1.44 million participants, higher levels of leisure-time physical activity (at the 90th percentile), as compared with lower levels (at the 10th percentile), were associated with lower risk of 13 of 26 types of cancer examined, with risk reductions of 20% or more for 7 of the cancers. Leisure-time physical activity was also associated with higher risk of malignant melanoma, and higher risk of nonadvanced prostate cancer. A higher level of leisure-time physical activity was associated with a 7% lower risk of total cancer.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816258"></a> <p class="para">Our results suggest that leisure-time physical activity may be associated with lower risk of a wider breadth of types of cancer than previously described, and they bolster the evidence for associations that were previously only weakly supported. For example, associations for esophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cardia cancer were among our strongest findings, but previous prospective studies found small effects compared with our own.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r28" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">28</a></sup> For kidney and bladder cancers, we observed clear inverse associations, while recent meta-analyses reported nonsignificant associations in prospective studies.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r29" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">29</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi160026r30" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">30</a></sup> For myeloid leukemia and myeloma, we found robust inverse associations, whereas a 2015 meta-analysis found null associations.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r31" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">31</a></sup> For liver cancer, inverse associations had been observed, but few studies had been conducted<sup><a href="#ioi160026r32" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">32</a></sup> and additional confirmatory data were needed. We also observed nonsignificant inverse associations for cancers of the gallbladder and small intestine, while existing studies found no associations.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r32" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">32</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi160026r33" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">33</a></sup> Our findings confirm the previously reported inverse associations between physical activity and risk of colon, endometrial, and breast cancers, and further extend the observation of inverse associations to the ER-negative subtype of breast cancers (in the NIH-AARP study).</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816259"></a> <p class="para">Our study also systematically explored the role of BMI in physical activity’s association with the full spectrum of cancer types. Longitudinal studies<sup><a href="#ioi160026r34" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">34</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi160026r35" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">35</a></sup> and randomized exercise trials<sup><a href="#ioi160026r36" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">36</a></sup> show that physical activity helps prevent weight gain and that exercise reduces levels of cancer-relevant biomarkers such as estradiol, mostly as a consequence of weight loss.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r37" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">37</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi160026r38" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">38</a></sup> These combined observations have given rise to the hypothesis that physical activity reduces cancer risk primarily through lowering body weight. Our finding that physical activity and cancer associations were generally BMI independent argues against this hypothesis for most cancers. However, for esophageal adenocarcinoma and cancers of the liver, gastric cardia, kidney, and endometrium—cancers known to be obesity related<sup><a href="#ioi160026r39" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">39</a></sup>—the associations were somewhat BMI dependent, and body mass index may potentially be a mediating factor that explains why physical activity is related to lower risk of these cancers. Unfortunately, we did not have information about the trajectories of physical activity and body weight and therefore could not distinguish between BMI’s mediating and confounding roles.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816260"></a> <p class="para">We additionally observed that leisure-time physical activity was strongly inversely associated with lung cancer and unassociated with endometrial cancer in those with a BMI lower than 25. For lung cancer, this may reflect higher smoking prevalence among the lean, and thus higher potential for residual confounding. For endometrial cancer, this may reflect the effect of removing body weight (because all participants in this group are lean) from the causal path connecting physical activity to lower risk. For all other cancers, there was little evidence for effect modification, suggesting that among the overweight and obese, a higher physical activity level is still associated with lower cancer risk. This is important because not all persons who engage in high levels of physical activity have low body weights. This finding may help encourage those who are overweight or obese to be physically active.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816261"></a> <p class="para">We separately examined risk associations among current, former, and never smokers, and aside from lung cancer and myeloma, found little evidence for effect modification. For lung cancer, variability in the physical activity association by smoking status could reflect an inability to completely adjust for smoking habits among current or former smokers, that is, residual confounding. It is also conceivable, however, that the different findings in current or former smokers—who constitute almost all cases—are indicative of distinct etiologic and biologic features of their lung cancers compared with never smokers.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r40" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">40</a></sup> Effect modification by smoking status was not observed for other smoking-related cancers such as head and neck cancer. This provides some evidence against a generic bias due to residual confounding by smoking, although case numbers were too small to rule this out definitively. For myeloma, smoking is not a risk factor and effect modification may therefore be due to small case numbers and/or chance.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816262"></a> <p class="para">Leisure-time physical activity was positively associated with prostate cancer risk, but there is no known biologic rationale to explain this association. Physically active men are more likely than inactive men to receive digital rectal examinations and/or prostate-specific antigen screening,<sup><a href="#ioi160026r26" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">26</a></sup> which increases the likelihood of diagnosing indolent prostate cancers. The positive association that we observed could therefore be due to screening bias. To circumvent this potential bias, we analyzed advanced prostate cancers in the NIH-AARP study because advanced cases are less likely to remain indolent, and found no association between physical activity and advanced prostate cancer. This difference in associations for overall prostate cancers and advanced prostate cancers implies that results for overall prostate cancers were influenced by screening bias, although we cannot fully rule out etiologic heterogeneity.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816263"></a> <p class="para">The higher risk of melanoma with increased leisure-time physical activity was notable, particularly because this association has only been examined in 1 prior study. This case-control study found that higher activity levels were associated with a 30% lower melanoma risk,<sup><a href="#ioi160026r41" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">41</a></sup> a finding that our analysis refutes. Of the 12 cohorts we examined, 8 found higher activity levels to be associated with at least a 20% higher melanoma risk. Greater incidental sun exposure seems to be the likely reason for this increase in melanoma risk because physical activity is frequently done outdoors in light clothing and has been associated with substantially increased risk of sunburn.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r42" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">42</a></sup> Moreover, we found that the physical activity–melanoma association was stronger in high-UV areas, implying that sun exposure is an important factor underlying this association. Physically active people thus appear to be a vulnerable population for melanoma, and cancer prevention efforts focused on physical activity should emphasize sun exposure safety (eg, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220928055856/http://www.cancer.org/healthy/besafeinthesun/">http://www.cancer.org/healthy/besafeinthesun/</a>).</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816264"></a> <p class="para">Physical activity’s biological link with cancer has been hypothesized to be mediated through 3 hormonal systems: sex steroids, insulin and insulin-like growth factors, and adipokines.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r43" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">43</a></sup> Among other evidence for a link between physical activity and these hormonal systems, randomized exercise trials show that randomization to a 1-year physical activity intervention reduces levels of estrone and estradiol,<sup><a href="#ioi160026r37" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">37</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi160026r38" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">38</a></sup> and insulin<sup><a href="#ioi160026r44" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">44</a></sup> in postmenopausal women, with effects mediated, at least in part, through reduced adiposity. Several nonhormonal mechanisms have been hypothesized to link physical activity to cancer risk, including inflammation, immune function, oxidative stress, and for colon cancer, reduced gastrointestinal transit time.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r43" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">43</a></sup> Some of these nonhormonal mechanisms could potentially explain why physical activity was more robustly inversely associated with ER-negative than ER-positive breast cancer. For some physical activity–associated cancers in our study, for example, esophageal adenocarcinoma or bladder cancer, less is known about the potential mechanisms underlying the physical activity association and our results suggest that further mechanistic research is warranted.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816265"></a> <p class="para">The primary strength of our study is that, to our knowledge, it is the largest ever conducted on physical activity and cancer risk. This afforded us the statistical precision to examine uncommon and rare cancers that together constitute most incident cancers. Another strength is our consistent methodological approach, including restriction to prospective cohort studies, and leisure-time physical activity, as well as analyzing the same large contrast in physical activity level across studies. This approach minimizes heterogeneity, improves consistency of results, and maximizes power. Finally, our results are not susceptible to publication bias because our analysis is not restricted to published data.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816266"></a> <p class="para">The main limitation of our study is that, in the context of an observational study of lifestyle factors, we cannot fully exclude the possibility that residual confounding by diet, smoking, or other factors may affect our results. However, we did control for many of the known cancer risk factors, and adjusted for diet in sensitivity analyses, with little overall effect on results. We also carefully evaluated effects of adjusting for BMI, and evaluated potential residual confounding by smoking by estimating associations separately in never smokers. We also conducted sensitivity analyses to explore potential screening bias for prostate cancer and the role of sun exposure for melanoma.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816267"></a> <p class="para">An additional limitation is that we used self-reported physical activity, which entails some error in recall. Mitigating this concern is the fact that many physical activity assessments were previously validated and that the discrete, structured nature of leisure-time physical activities makes them comparatively easy to recall.<sup><a href="#ioi160026r45" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">45</a></sup> A further concern is that assessments of physical activity differed somewhat by study; however, for most cancers, results were still highly consistent between studies. Finally, not all cohorts assessed moderate- and vigorous-intensity activities separately, and several cohorts lacked key details needed to calculate MET-hours per week of physical activity, a measure that would have enabled benchmarking our findings against national guidelines. Our collaborative group will conduct future studies targeting in greater detail the type, intensity, and amount of physical activity needed to reduce overall cancer risk in subsets with the relevant data.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816268"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Conclusions </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816269"></a> <p class="para">Increasing levels of leisure-time physical activity were associated with lower risks of 13 of the 26 cancers we investigated, extending our current evidence base beyond colon, breast, and endometrial cancers. Furthermore, our results support that these associations are broadly generalizable to different populations, including overweight or obese individuals, or those with a history of smoking. These findings support promoting physical activity as a key component of population-wide cancer prevention and control efforts.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="126816270"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-acknowledgements has-back-to-top"> <a href="#top" class="section-jump-link back-to-top" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-full-text">Back to top</a> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Article Information </div> </div> <p class="para"><strong>Accepted for Publication:</strong> March 7, 2016.</p><p class="authorInfoSection"><strong>Corresponding Author:</strong> Steven C.
