Nyssa Hadgraft,Nyssa Hadgraft,Brigid M. Lynch,Brigid M. Lynch,Brigid M. Lynch,Bronwyn K. Clark,Genevieve N. Healy,Genevieve N. Healy,Neville Owen,David W. Dunstan +9 more
TL;DR: Higher household income and professional/managerial occupations and health-related factors were correlates of high occupational Sitting time, relative to low occupational sitting time, while health- related factors were associated with high levels of both occupational sitting and TV viewing time.
Journal ArticleDOI
State of the epidemiological evidence on physical activity and cancer prevention
TL;DR: There is strong and consistent evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of several of the major cancer sites, and that between 9% and 19% of cancer cases could be attributed to lack of sufficient physical activity in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedentary Behavior and Cancer: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Proposed Biological Mechanisms
TL;DR: The review of the literature on sedentary behavior and biological pathways supported the hypothesized role of adiposity and metabolic dysfunction as mechanisms operant in the association between sedentarybehavior and cancer.
Book ChapterDOI
Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Prevention
TL;DR: It is likely that physical activity is associated with decreased breast cancer risk via multiple interrelated biologic pathways that may involve adiposity, sex hormones, insulin resistance, adipokines, and chronic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time of breast cancer survivors, and associations with adiposity: findings from NHANES (2003-2006).
Brigid M. Lynch,David W. Dunstan,Genevieve N. Healy,Elisabeth A. H. Winkler,Elizabeth G. Eakin,Neville Owen +5 more
TL;DR: Increasing moderate-to-vigorous and light intensity physical activity, and decreasing sedentary time, may assist with weight management and improve other metabolic health outcomes for breast cancer survivors.
