Independent and joint associations of weightlifting and aerobic activity with all-cause, cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
Often data obtained from one trial has other uses. The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer screening trial (PLCO) involved 1.5 million people, over a period of 13 years, with the aim of demonstrating the benefit of screening. No survival benefit for ovarian cancer was found.
Analysis of the data continues, it is seen that moderate to vigorous physical exercise is associated with a significant (32%) lower risk of all-cause mortality. Adding weight training to the exercise routine did not significantly improve the benefit.
Although the exercise routines improved overall mortality, no benefit was seen for those people with cancer.
