ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer poses a huge disease burden, which could be reduced by adopting healthy lifestyles mainly composed of healthy diet, body weight, physical activity, limited alcohol consumption, and avoidance of smoking.

Results

The HRs (95% CIs) comparing individuals with the healthiest
