  3. Physical Activity A sedentary lifestyle linked in some [73,74] but not all [75] studies with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. There are numerous observational studies that have examined the relationship between physical activity and colon cancer risk. [76] Most of these studies have shown an inverse relationship between level of physical activity and colon cancer incidence. The average relative risk reduction is reportedly 40 to 50%. However, it is not known if or to what degree the observed association is due to confounding variables, such as diet or a genetic predisposition to colon cancer. In a population-based case control study of colorectal cancer among Chinese men and women in Western North America and China, colon and rectal cancer risk was elevated among men employed in sedentary occupations in both continents.[77] Further, the association between colorectal cancer risk and saturated fat was stronger among the sedentary than among the active population. Perhaps related to physical activity, body mass was found to be correlated with rectal cancer in men in an Australian study [75] and with colorectal cancer in men in Sweden.[78]

  4. N.Z. Physical Activity Levels • 48.2 percent (women, 44%; men, 52%) of adults achieved New Zealand’s national physical activity guideline, that is they participated in at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on five or more days of the week. • Compared with the New Zealand population, a similar percentage of adults in each ethnic group achieved the national physical activity guidelines, but inactivity levels were higher among Asian adults. • ‘2007/08 Active NZ Survey Findings’ SPARC

  5. The 20 Most Popular Sport and Recreation Activities Participated in Over 12 Months-SPARC
