Cancer incidence attributable to inadequate physical activity in Alberta in 2012

Abstract: Background: Physical inactivity has been consistently associated with increased risk of colorectal, endometrial, breast (in postmenopausal women), prostate, lung and ovarian cancers. The objective of the current analysis was to estimate the proportion and absolute number of site-specific cancer cases attributable to inadequate physical activity in Alberta in 2012. Methods:We used population attributable risks to estimate the proportion of each site-specific cancer attributable to inactivity. Relative risk esti… Show more

“…Previous studies suggested that, on average, 12% of breast cancers and 18% of colon cancers are attributable to lack physical activity (Friedenreich et al, 2010;Parkin et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2012;Hayes et al, 2013;Brenner, 2014;Park et al, 2014;Olsen et al, 2015;Van Gemert et al, 2015; Azevedo e Wilson, 2016;Brenner et al, 2017;Charafeddine et al, 2017;Naing et al, 2017). These results are similar to our PAF estimates, although comparing results is challenging due to methodological heterogeneity between studies (Table S4).…”

“…These risks are responsible for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancers (2009). According to the WHO report of 2009 (2009), physical activity (PA) is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, some cancers (e.g., colorectal (Brenner et al, 2017;Eaglehouse et al, 2017), prostate, lung, breast, ovarian, endometrial (Brenner et al, 2017), oesophageal (Castro et al, 2017)), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM).…”

“…We give comparisons between the UK and Alberta populations at the exposure-specific level in our previous articles. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In Australia, about 32% of cancers in 2010 were estimated to be attributable to 13 modifiable factors. 29 This estimate is lower than both our estimate for Alberta and the UK estimate.…”

“…1 As some factors were considered protective for cancer and others were cancer risk factors, Table 1 summarizes what we consider to be the theoretical minimum risk level of exposure for each lifestyle and environmental factor based on our research (unpublished data). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] We estimated the total number of cancer cases attributable to the 24 risk factors by summing the number of cases of cancer at individual sites attributable to each individual exposure. Additional methods for the exposures included in this summary paper but not presented in separate exposure-specific papers are presented in Appendix 1, available at www.cmajopen.ca/ content/5/3/E540/suppl/DC1.…”
