TL;DR: The epidemiologic evidence concerning the contribution of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and obesity to cancer etiology is summarized and an overview of the biologic mechanisms that may be operative between these factors and cancer incidence is provided.

TL;DR: Short sleep duration is associated with an increased risk of developing features of the metabolic syndrome in adults and the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype (either unadjusted or adjusted models).

TL;DR: There are several mechanisms whereby obesity is hypothesized to increase endometrial cancer risk, including increased endogenous sex steroid hormones, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and adipokines, and studies on weight gain, loss or cycling and weight loss interventions can provide mechanistic insight into the obesity-endometric cancer association.

TL;DR: Insufficient sleep, in both quality and quantity, should be regarded as a plausible risk factor for the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: In both men and women, daily alcohol intake was significantly higher in short-duration sleepers having a high disinhibition eating behavior trait, and the prevalence of a binge drinking occasion was more common in men than women.
