Lifestyle factors and colorectal cancer risk (2): a systematic review and meta‐analysis of associations with leisure‐time physical activity

Objective Increased physical activity may decrease the risk of colorectal cancer. As a prerequisite to the determination of lifestyle attributable risks, we performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of prospective observational studies to quantify gender‐specific risk associated with increased leisure‐time physical activity (LT‐PA).
