Physical Activity and Anti-Aging: Cancer Prevention Through Exercise

According to the 2020 Population Dynamics Statistics [1], the proportion of deaths due to malignant neoplasms (cancer) is 27.6%, making it the leading cause of death since 1981. When looking at the breakdown of cancer by organ, lung cancer, stomach cancer, and colorectal cancer are the most common in men, while colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer are the most common in women. The mortality and incidence rates of several organ cancers, including colorectal cancer, are still increasing year by year. Normal cells can become cancerous due to a complex interplay of genetic factors, environmental factors, lifestyle habits, and aging. However, this mechanism is extremely complex and not yet fully understood, limiting the development and establishment of treatment methods. It is important to improve lifestyle habits and actively prevent cancer to reduce the risk of cancer.
