Being fit earlier in life is associated with a reduced risk, in some cases of up to 42%, of developing nine different types of cancer in later life, according to a large long-term study.

一项大型长期研究显示，年轻时身强体健可以降低年老时患上9种不同癌症的风险，某些情况下甚至能将风险降低42%之多。

The new study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, drew from data from more than 1 million male Swedish conscripts between 16 and 25, who were followed for an average of 33 years from 1968 to 2005. The results suggested that good cardiorespiratory fitness – an individual’s ability to engage in sustained aerobic exercises such as running, cycling, and swimming – was associated with a 42% reduced risk of lung cancer, a 40% reduced risk of liver cancer and a 39% reduced risk of oesophageal cancer.

这项发表在《英国运动医学》杂志上的新研究查看了超100万名16岁至25岁瑞典男性士兵的数据，从1968年到2005年这些人被跟踪调查平均长达33年。结果表明，心肺健康的人患肺癌、肝癌和食管癌的风险分别降低42%、40%和39%。心肺健康意味着能够从事跑步、骑车、游泳等持续的有氧运动。

It was also associated with a lower risk of head and neck, stomach, pancreatic bowel and kidney cancer.
