To assess the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and the incidence of 26 distinct types of cancer in a large adult population.
Analyzed pooled prospective data from an adult cohort totaling 1.44 million participants.
Evaluated the association between levels of leisure-time physical activity and cancer incidence while accounting for body size and smoking history.
Higher levels of leisure-time physical activity were linked to statistically significant risk reductions across multiple cancer types.
Protective associations were consistently observed irrespective of participants' body mass index or smoking status, demonstrating broad generalizability.
