• In colorectal, stomach, and lung cancer survivors, no physical activity was significantly associated with higher risk of mortality or LTCI certification after adjustment. — Long-term habitual physical activity and risk of mortality and long-term care insurance certification in cancer survivors: a prospective cohort study in the LIFE study, Japan
• In prostate cancer survivors, both lower physical activity groups had significantly higher risk than the exercise-and-walking group after adjustment. — Long-term habitual physical activity and risk of mortality and long-term care insurance certification in cancer survivors: a prospective cohort study in the LIFE study, Japan
• In breast cancer survivors, a crude association was observed but neither lower-activity group had a significantly higher or lower adjusted risk. — Long-term habitual physical activity and risk of mortality and long-term care insurance certification in cancer survivors: a prospective cohort study in the LIFE study, Japan
• Blood cancer and uterine and cervical cancer survivors did not show a significant physical activity association, even after adjustment. — Long-term habitual physical activity and risk of mortality and long-term care insurance certification in cancer survivors: a prospective cohort study in the LIFE study, Japan
• Prior reviews reported that physical activity effects vary by cancer type, with positive effects documented especially in prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung cancer. — Long-term habitual physical activity and risk of mortality and long-term care insurance certification in cancer survivors: a prospective cohort study in the LIFE study, Japan
• The absence of a significant adjusted effect in breast cancer survivors may relate to the cohort skewing toward older, longer-term survivors who are healthier than newly diagnosed patients. — Long-term habitual physical activity and risk of mortality and long-term care insurance certification in cancer survivors: a prospective cohort study in the LIFE study, Japan
