“…Table 1 presents the main characteristics and results of the 15 cohort studies (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) and eight case-control studies (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) included. Three studies investigated more than one physical activity domain (19,24,40) and nine studies provided results stratified by gender (20,22,23,25,26,29,32,39,40).…”

Background: Despite the existence of numerous biologic pathways potentially linking increased physical activity to decreased risk of hematologic cancers, the associations between physical activity and subtypespecific hematologic cancers have not been comprehensively quantified.Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of physical activity in relation to subtypespecific hematologic cancers. We summarized the data from 23 eligible studies (15 cohort and eight casecontrol studies) and estimated summary relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using randomeffects models.Results: When comparing high versus low physical activity levels, the RR for non-Hodgkin lymphoma was 0.91 (95% CI, 0.82-1.00), for Hodgkin lymphoma it was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.58-1.26), for leukemia it was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.84-1.13), and for multiple myeloma it was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.68-1.09). When focusing on subtypes of nonHodgkin lymphoma, the RR for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.80-1.14) and for follicular lymphoma it was 1.01 (95% CI, 0.83-1.22). In an exploratory analysis combining all hematologic cancers, high versus low physical activity levels yielded a statistically significant RR of 0.93 (95% CI, 0.88-0.99).Conclusions: Physical activity showed statistically nonsignificant associations with risks of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. These findings may not represent a true lack of associations given the variation in high versus low physical activity definitions, the quality of physical activity assessments, and the variability in hematologic cancer classification schemes in individual studies.Impact: Physical activity is unrelated to risks of subtype-specific hematologic cancers.

“…From 422 unique studies identified using the search strategy, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria (13)(14)(15)(16)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). One population-based case-control study by Campbell and colleagues, using the Canadian National Enhanced Cancer Surveillance Study, reported and analyzed data from Ontario and seven other Canadian provinces separately using different physical activity measurement modality, and hence, these were analyzed as two separate studies (25).…”

Six studies were performed exclusively in men (27, 28, 30, 32-34); in one case-control study from Turkey (26), no cases of gastric cancer were observed in females, who formed <10% of entire study population.…”

In eight studies, recreational (with or without household) physical activity was the only measured domain (13,24,25,27,(29)(30)(31)(32); in three studies, only occupational physical activity was inferred on the basis of the job title (15,26,34); four other studies reported combined recreational and occupational activity in estimating the lifetime physical activity (14,16,28,33). In four studies, cases and controls were recruited from hospitals (24,26,27,31); one study obtained data on cases and controls exclusively based on the state cancer registry, with no direct patient contact (34).…”

Physical activity may be associated with reduced risk of gastric cancer. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the magnitude of the association and the quality of supporting evidence. After a comprehensive search of bibliographic databases and conference proceedings through February 2013 for observational studies that examined associations between recreational and/or occupational physical activity and gastric cancer risk, we identified 16 studies (seven cohort, nine case control) reporting 11,111 cases of gastric cancer among 1,606,760 patients. Summary adjusted-OR estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using the random-effects model. Meta-analysis demonstrated that the risk of gastric cancer was 21% lower among the most physically active people as compared with the least physically active people (OR ¼ 0.79; 95% CI, 0.71-0.87) with moderate heterogeneity among studies (I 2 ¼ 55%). This protective effect was seen for gastric cancers in the cardia (four studies; OR ¼ 0.80; 95% CI, 0.63-1.00) and distal stomach (five studies; OR ¼ 0.63; 95% CI, 0.52-0.76). The effect size was significantly smaller in highquality studies (six studies; OR ¼ 0.86; 95% CI, 0.75-0.99), as compared with low-quality studies (10 studies; OR ¼ 0.74; 95% CI, 0.69-0.81). The results were consistent across sex, study quality, study design, and geographic location. In conclusion, meta-analysis of published observational studies indicates that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of gastric cancer. Lifestyle interventions focusing on increasing physical activity may decrease the global burden of gastric cancer, in addition to a myriad of other health benefits. Cancer Prev Res; 7(1); 12-22.

“…Individuals who were physically active at least one hour/week were at a significantly lower risk compared to those not physically active (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.28-0.97); however, the authors were not able to characterize precisely the intensity and frequency of the subjects' activity. Parent et al (2011) in a case-control study (857 LC cases and 533 controls) conducted in Montreal, Canada, found that participation in sports and/or outdoor activities of average once weekly or more for at least 6 months decreased LC risk by about 31% (OR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.52-0.91). The authors also observed a statistically insignificant reduction in LC risk with lifelong occupational PA (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.49-1.52).…”

Abstract. Diagnosis of lung cancer (LC) has been fraught with difficulty and by the time of definitive diagnosis, most patients are in later stages of the disease. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that lifestyle behaviors play an etiological role in LC risk; however data in the literature on this topic often appears inconclusive or require further study. Understanding of the mechanisms operating between lifestyle patterns and their impact on LC is important for the disease's prevention and treatment. The purpose of this study was to review the current evidence on the role of diet, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and sex hormone use in LC development based on meta-analyses, systematic reviews and previously published epidemiologic studies. Regarded as the foremost cause of LC, evidence from studies have indicated that tobacco smoking causes LC. Additionally, exposure to outdoor air pollution and/or occupational-related exposures increase LC risk. Further, frequent consumption of red meat, processed meat increases adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Inverse associations between the disease risk and BMI ≥25 kg/m 2 , higher level of physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption with a high frequency were reported. Future studies are warranted to validate the association between histologic subtypes of LC and lifestyle patterns.
