Exercise may lower risk for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma

Vigorous physical activity may help lower the risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Terry Boyle, Ph.D., and his coauthors reported in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

In a case-control study of 820 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) patients and 848 controls, those in the higher (second, third, and fourth) quartiles of lifetime vigorous intensity exercise had a 25%-30% lower risk of NHL than did those in the lower quartile (odds ratios of 0.69; 0.68; and 0.75, respectively).

“Given this finding, more research on physical activity intensity and timing in relation to NHL risk is warranted,” Dr. Boyle and his associates wrote.
