This study by Inan-Eroglu and colleagues explored the combined effects of diet and physical activity (PA) measured by accelerometer on mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer incidence using data from 79,988 UK Biobank participants. The results indicated that higher levels of PA, particularly vigorous PA and moderate-to-vigorous PA, are associated with lower risks of all outcomes. These associations were consistent across different dietary patterns, underscoring the importance of sufficient health enhancing PA over and above other health behaviors. The findings highlight the significance of PA, alongside maintaining a healthy diet, as modifiable lifestyle factors. Such conclusions support a comprehensive lifestyle-focused approach with PA at its core as a strategy for cancer risk reduction.
