Physical Activity and Bladder Cancer Risk: Findings of the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The association of physical activity with the risk of bladder cancer remains inconsistent among Asian populations. We aimed to examine the association in a large Japanese cohort.

Materials and methods

In a population-based prospective cohort study, a total of 50,374 Japanese adults aged 40-79 years without a history of cancer or cardiovascular disease who had information on physical activity from self-administrated questionnaires were used for analysis. We performed Cox proportional hazard models to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident bladder cancer after adjusting for several potential confounders.

Results

During the median 17.5 years of follow-up, 153 incident bladder cancers (116 men and 37 women) were identified
