“…All studies adjusted for age and parity and most also adjusted for oral contraceptive use and BMI. Excluding studies that did not adjust for oral contraceptive use (15,22,30,34) and BMI (18,22,30,32) resulted in pooled estimates of 0.83 (95% CI, 0.80-0.86) and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.76-0.86), respectively, with no significant heterogeneity. The funnel plot of the effect estimates for the risk of ovarian cancer related to recreational physical activity was close to symmetrical, suggesting that there was no appreciable publication bias.…”

“…Twelve of the 16 studies assessed recreational physical activity [six case-control studies (15)(16)(17)(34)(35)(36) and six cohort studies (18,22,27,29,30,32)] and all presented risk estimates permitting meta-analysis together with the results of the current study. These studies are summarized in Table 4.…”

“…Vigorous Activity. Four cohort studies (18,22,30,32) and three additional case-control studies (15,34,37) reported on ''vigorous'' recreational activity and risk of ovarian cancer. Two of these, one case-control (37) and one cohort (30), reported significant inverse associations with vigorous physical activity.…”

“…The primary computerized literature search identified 129 potentially relevant studies. After review of the study abstracts, we retrieved 20 articles for further assessment, of which 7 reports of cohort studies (18,22,27,(29)(30)(31)(32)) and 9 from case-control studies (15)(16)(17)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39) met the criteria for inclusion in the systematic review. Of these, 12 studies were restricted to epithelial ovarian cancer and the other 4 included predominantly epithelial ovarian cancers.…”

It remains unclear whether physical activity is associated with epithelial ovarian cancer risk. We therefore examined the association between recreational physical activity and risk of ovarian cancer in a national population-based case-control study in Australia. We also systematically reviewed all the available evidence linking physical activity with ovarian cancer to provide the best summary estimate of the association. The case-control study included women ages 18 to 79 years with a new diagnosis of invasive (n = 1,269) or borderline (n = 311) epithelial ovarian cancer identified through a network of clinics, physicians, and state cancer registries throughout Australia. Controls (n = 1,509) were randomly selected from the national electoral roll and were frequency matched to cases by age and state. For the systematic review, we identified eligible studies using Medline, the ISI Science Citation Index, and manual review of retrieved references, and included all case-control or cohort studies that permitted assessment of an association between physical activity (recreational/ occupational/sedentary behavior) and histologically confirmed ovarian cancer. Meta-analysis was restricted to the subset of these studies that reported on recreational physical activity. In our case-control study, we observed weakly inverse or null associations between recreational physical activity and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer overall. There was no evidence that the effects varied by tumor behavior or histologic subtype. Twelve studies were included in the metaanalysis, which gave summary estimates of 0.79 (95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.85) for case-control studies and 0.81 (95% confidence interval, 0.57-1.17) for cohort studies for the risk of ovarian cancer associated with highest versus lowest levels of recreational physical activity. Thus, pooled results from observational studies suggest that a modest inverse association exists between level of recreational physical activity and the risk of ovarian cancer.

“…However, some dietary behaviours, like drinking coffee, adding salt at the table, salted foods, meal frequency and cooking procedures, have not been included in dietary patterns, although they have been associated with the development of chronic diseases, like cancer. Specifically, epidemiological studies have shown that high intake of calcium and vitamin D (11,12) seems to have a protective effect on CRC risk and coffee intake (13)(14)(15) a conflicting effect, while frequent meals (16,17) and systematic physical activity (18,19) probably have modest protective effect. Added table salt or salted foods have been highly correlated with gastric cancer, but not with CRC.…”

Objective: To investigate the association between dietary behaviours and colorectal cancer (CRC) in the context of the Mediterranean diet. Design: Case-control study. Setting: All patients (cases) were recruited from Saint Savvas Cancer Hospital and Alexandra General Hospital in Athens, Greece. Controls were voluntarily selected from the general population and matched to cases by age group (610 years) and sex. Subjects: Two hundred and fifty cases with newly diagnosed CRC (mean age 63 (SD 12) years, 59?6 % males) and 250 controls matched on age and sex were studied. A standardized questionnaire assessing sociodemographic, clinical, lifestyle, dietary characteristics and nutritional behaviours was applied. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the aforementioned factors in addition to the MedDietScore (an index that evaluates adherence to the Mediterranean diet) on CRC development. Results: The higher the daily number of meals, the lower the likelihood of having CRC (OR 5 0?74, 95 % CI 0?61, 0?89); coffee drinking was associated with higher likelihood of having CRC (OR 5 3?27, 95 % CI 1?09, 9?8); the use of non-stick cookware was positively associated with CRC (OR 5 1?57, 95 % CI 1?02, 2?4). However, these associations slightly lost their significance when adherence to the Mediterranean diet was taken into account. Moreover, a 1/75 increase in the modified-MedDietScore plus the aforementioned nutritional behaviours was associated with 13 % lower odds (95 % CI 0?83, 0?91, P , 0?001) of having CRC. Conclusions: Nutritional behaviours in addition to dietary habits should be taken into account in detecting individuals prone to the development of CRC.

Physical activity in leisure-time and risk of cancer: 14-year follow-up of 28,000 Danish men and women

Abstract: Generally, there were no, or only weakly, inverse associations between physical activity in leisure time and incidence of cancer, except for cancer of the ovary.
