• The four-year cumulative incidence of the composite outcome was 5.7% in the highest-activity group and 8.1% in the no-activity group. — 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
• After covariate adjustment, the no-physical-activity group had an approximately 72% higher risk of the composite outcome compared to the exercise-and-walking group. — 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
• Physical activity was measured using two self-reported yes/no questions from health check-up records. — 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
• Habitual exercise combined with daily walking was associated with lower risk of death and disability severe enough to require LTCI certification. — 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 two self-reported questions approximate public health recommendations but cannot capture detailed intensity, duration, or total activity volume. — 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 meta-analytic evidence reported hazard ratios of 0.68–0.77 for postdiagnosis physical activity reducing mortality in cancer survivors. — 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
• Two simple health check-up questions about exercise and walking may help identify cancer survivors at higher risk of mortality and disability. — 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
