Abstract

Physical activity is inversely related to mortality from respiratory diseases including lung cancer. Physical activity improves pulmonary function but its impact on lung-cancer risk has not been studied much. During 1972-1978, 53,242 men and 28,274 women, aged 20 to 49 years, participated in a population-based health survey and were followed until 31 December 1991. We observed a total of 413 men and 51 women with lung cancer. Leisure activity and work activity were assessed using a questionnaire in 4 categories. In a sub-cohort, physical activity was assessed twice at an interval of 3 to 5 years. Leisure but not work activity was inversely related to lung-cancer risk in men after adjustment for age, smoking habits, body-mass index and geographical residence (p for trend = 0.01). Men who exercised at least 4 hours a week had a lower risk than men who did not exercise [relative risk (RR) = 0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.52-0.97]. Reduced risk of lung cancer was particularly marked for small-cell carcinoma (RR = 0.59; 95% CI = 0.38-0.94) and for adenocarcinoma (RR = 0.65; 95% CI = 0.41-1.05), with no association seen for squamous-cell carcinoma. In the sub-cohort in which physical activity was assessed twice, the risk of l...Continue Reading
