Study finds: Men who maintained physical fitness in their younger years face up to 40% lower cancer risk when compared to the hazards of laziness in early 20s

  • A recent study conducted by researchers from Sweden analyzed data from over one million men.
  • The study found that high fitness levels in young men reduced the risk of lung cancer by 42%.






















New research suggests that men who were physically fit when they were younger have a reduced risk of developing nine different types of cancer.

A study conducted over 30 years found that individuals with good cardiorespiratory fitness in their youth had a lower likelihood of developing bowel, kidney, liver, pancreatic, and lung cancer in later life.

Cardiorespiratory fitness refers to a person’s ability to engage in aerobic exercises such as running, cycling, swimming, or climbing stairs for extended periods of time.

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden analyzed data from over one million men who underwent various tests during conscription into the military between the ages of 16 and 25.

These tests included a cycling test, which researchers used to categorize participants into “high,” “medium,” or “low” cardiorespiratory fitness levels.
