Change in Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Risk of Colorectal and Prostate Cancer Incidence in Men.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the associations between changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and the risk of colorectal and prostate cancer in men.

Methods

Data from men who completed a health assessment both in military conscription in youth and an occupational health profile assessment (HPA) later in life were used. CRF was assessed as estimated V̇O_2max, using a cycle ergometer fitness test at both time points. We linked the assessment data to national register data on colorectal and prostate cancer incidence, and hazard ratios and confidence intervals were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression.

Results

139,764 men with a mean age of 18 (SD 0.6) at conscription and 43 (SD 8.9) at HPA were includ
