Figure 2. Life expectancy (years, 95% CI) cancer-free from four cancer types and life expectancy differences at age 50 by LTPA among ARIC participants (1987–2012).

Figure 2.

LTPA categories included none, < median (0.1 - < 13.2 MET-h/week), and ≥ median (13.2+ MET-h/week). Models were specified separately for each type of cancer (colorectal cancer and lung cancer models N=14,508, prostate cancer models N=6582, and postmenopausal breast cancer models N=7849). Models were adjusted for age, gender, race by ARIC center, education, smoking status, and alcohol intake. Prostate and breast models did not include gender. Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, CRC= colorectal cancer, LE= life expectancy, LTPA=leisure-time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, MET= metabolic equivalent of task
