This project will aim to clarify the relation between adiposity and physical activity and risk of 25 cancers in three large European cohort studies and to explore the potential underlying mechanisms that could explain these associations. This will be of major importance for strengthening the evidence regarding adiposity and physical activity and cancer risk, and could contribute toward more complete estimates of cancer burden due to low physical activity and adiposity, and prevention of additional cancer cases in the general population through weight control and physical activity.
