Leisure Time Physical Activity and Mortality: A Detailed Pooled Analysis of the Dose-Response Relationship

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the dose-response association between leisure time physical activity and mortality and define the upper limit of benefit or harm associated with increased levels of physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association scan identifies a colorectal cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 8q24

TL;DR: Using a multistage genetic association approach comprising 7,480 affected individuals and 7,779 controls, markers in chromosomal region 8q24 associated with colorectal cancer were identified and this locus has been implicated in prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leisure Time Spent Sitting in Relation to Total Mortality in a Prospective Cohort of US Adults

TL;DR: Evidence supports that reducing time spent sitting, regardless of activity, may improve the metabolic consequences of obesity and public health messages should include both being physically active and reducing time spending sitting.
