Table 5. Relationship between Different AHA’s Ideal Cardiovascular Health (ICH) Component Ideal Physical Activity (PA) Groups and Adult Cancer Incidence.
| Cancer Status | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| No Cancer (N, %) | Cancer (N, %) | P value | |
| AHA’s Physical activity | 1801 (96.2) | 72 (3.8) | |
| Nonideal (N=1499) | 1438 (95.9) | 61 (4.1) | 0.034* |
| Ideal (N=374) | 363 (97.1) | 11 (2.9) | |
Cancer incidence (N/%) in different ideal PA groups (ideal vs non-ideal). n/N= 61/1499 for cancer incidence in non-ideal and 11/374 in ideal PA groups.
*
P for HR 0.034 (PA predicting cancer; sex, age, smoking [if one has ever smoked between age of 12-18 years], BMI, meat consumption, and socioeconomic factor [parental study years] adjusted model).
