Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
During the follow-up time (2008-2019), 312,075 cancer cases were identified. Among men, seven trajectories were identified, and trajectories of high lifestyle risk scores increased cancer risk of all cancer combined, cancer subgroupings, upper aero-digestive, stomach, colorectal, liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, lung, and bladder cancer, but inverse relation was observed for prostate cancer. Among women, four trajectory groups showed similar trends. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding unhealthy behaviors are essential for cancer prevention.

Key findings
- During the follow-up time (2008-2019), 312,075 cancer cases were identified.
- Among men, seven trajectories were identified, and trajectories of high lifestyle risk scores increased cancer risk of all cancer combined, cancer subgroupings, upper aero-digestive, stomach, colorectal, liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, lung, and bladder cancer, but inverse relation was observed for prostate cancer.
- Among women, four trajectory groups showed similar trends.
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding unhealthy behaviors are essential for cancer prevention.
Why it matters
This cohort study is about cancer risk and lifestyle risk score trajectories, not Alzheimer's disease, and reports no findings on dementia. It found that high lifestyle risk score trajectories were linked to higher risk of several cancers in men and similar trends in women.
