Activity, Sleep May Cut Cancer Risk
- Physical activity may cut cancer risk, and sleeping at least seven hours per night may maximize that benefit.
That’s according to new research presented today in Washington, D.C. at an international meeting on cancer prevention hosted by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
The researchers, who included James McClain, PhD, MPH, a cancer prevention fellow at the National Cancer Institute, reviewed data on nearly 6,000 Maryland women.
