Recreational physical activity and risk of ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis
Being physical active may help shield a woman from ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study was to undertake a systematic meta-analysis on the relationship between recreational physical activity and a woman's likelihood of developing ovarian cancer. Researchers compiled data extracted from a pool of 6 studies involving over 400,000 women.
Data analysis revealed that ovarian cancer occurred at a low rate among women who regularly engaged in recreational physical activity compared to their counterparts living a sedentary lifestyle. This study highlighted the protective effect exerted by recreational physical activity against ovarian cancer.
