A new study from the University of South Carolina confirms that physical activity can lower the risk of breast cancer.
The study looked at 14,000 women aged 20 to 80 and their exercise habits between 1970 and 2001. It found that women who exercised regularly were three times less likely to die of breast cancer than their least fit peers.
In the study, moderate activity meant 150 minutes a week, including walking, sport, gardening and housework; high activity meant 300 minutes a week.
The study agrees with earlier, smaller studies by different groups, all of which pointed to a lower risk of breast cancer in women who exercise regularly.
