People who lead a sedentary lifestyle are more likely to develop this type of cancer.
A new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a higher level of physical activity and less time in a sitting position can reduce the risk of breast cancer. Sky News writes about it.
Scientists suggest that there is now a clear causal relationship between exercise and reduced risk of breast cancer.
Using a genetic prediction technique called Mendelian randomization in the study, the team, including experts from the University of Bristol, said that exercise reduces the risk of developing this cancer.
For the new study, experts included data from 130,957 women of European descent, of whom 69,838 had tumors that had begun to spread; 6,667 people with tumors who did not have them, and a comparison group of 54,452 women without breast cancer.
“The results showed that general activity was associated with a reduction in breast cancer risk of approximately 40%, while vigorous activity (three or more days per week) was associated with a similar reduction in pre- or perimenopausal breast cancer risk More widespread adoption of an active lifestyle could reduce the burden of the most common cancer among women.
Remember, previous researchers said that compared to non-tea drinkers, people who drank two or more cups of this beverage per day had a 9-13% lower risk of death.
