Physical activity and lung cancer risk in men and women

摘要

Purpose Although evidence has accumulated that recreational physical activities (PA) may reduce lung cancer risk, there is little evidence concerning the possible role of a potentially more important source of PA, namely occupational PA. We investigated both recreational and lifetime occupational PA in relation to lung cancer risk in a population-based case-control study in Montreal, Canada (N-CASES = 727; N-CONTROLS = 1,351).
