By Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc.Aug 21 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine assessed the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and some site-specific cancers in healthy young men.
What did the researchers do? The study cohort comprised young Swedish men enlisted in the military between 1968 and 2005. Participants diagnosed with cancer before or within five years of military conscription and those who died or emigrated within five years after military conscription were excluded from the study. None of the study participants had any underlying health conditions or injuries.
Study results A total of 1,078,000 men were included in the primary analyses, among whom 84,117 developed cancer in at least one site over a 33-year follow-up period. Participants in the low, moderate, and high CRF groups showed similarities in blood pressure and age at conscription. Related StoriesLinear associations were observed between higher CRF and a lower risk of developing cancer in various sites, including the head and neck , stomach , esophagus , pancreas , rectum , colon , liver , lung , and kidney .
Linear associations were detected between CRF and the risk of developing any cancer in the primary analyses, but no such association was observed in the supplementary analyses. No associations were detected between CRF and the risk of cancer development in the thyroid and the central nervous system.
