Resumen

VAZQUEZ-SALAS, Ruth Argelia et al. Association between life-course leisure-time physical activity and prostate cancer. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.2, pp.169-178.  Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 0036-3634.  https://doi.org/10.21149/12540.

Objective:

To evaluate the association between life-course leisure-time physical activity (PA) and prostate cancer (PC) among males living in Mexico City.

Materials and methods:

Information from 394 incident PC cases and 794 population controls matched by age (± 5 years), was analyzed. Using leisure-time PA information at different life stages, life-course PA patterns were constructed. The association between PA and PC was estimated using an unconditional logistic regression model.

Results:

Three life-course PA patterns were identified: low PA (71.0%), moderate PA (22.0%), and high PA (7.0%); this last pattern was characterized by higher levels and consistent PA practice. Compared with inactive males, those in the high PA pattern (OR: 0.50; 95%CI: 0.26-0.93) had significantly lower PC odds.

Conclusion:

Intense and regular PA could reduce the possibility of PC. These results are in accordance with PA World Health Organization recommendations.
