Proportion of Cancer Cases Attributable to Physical Inactivity by US State, 2013–2016

Conclusions Our results indicate that promoting physical activity through broad implementation of interventions could prevent many cancer cases. Over 46,000 cancer cases annually could be potentially avoided if the American population met the recommended 5 h·wk−1 of moderate-intensity (or 15 (MET)-h·wk−1) physical activity.
