A recent study of a large and diverse group of people supports the idea that being physically fit can help protect against some cancers 🏋🏻♀
The analysis of this study also linked higher fitness before diagnosis to better survival rate among those who did develop lung or colorectal cancer 💪🏼
The study found that the fittest individuals had a 77% lower risk of developing lung cancer and a 61% reduced risk of developing colorectal cancer compared to the least fittest 💨
The study also revealed that among individuals diagnosed with lung or colorectal cancer, those with the highest level of cardio respiratory fitness had a reduced risk of dying during the follow up of 44% and 89% respectively 🏋🏻♀
The study used data on 49,143 health system patients who had undergone exercise stress tests of fitness between 1991 and 2009 📅
