TL;DR: The highest, relative to the lowest, level of occupational physical activity tended to be linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer, with a suggested dose–response relationship, and an interaction between BMI and physical activity during recreational time that merits further investigation in future studies.

Effect of an Intensive Exercise Intervention Strategy on Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
TL;DR: It is uncertain whether this physical activity volume is optimal to reduce the CVD burden among individuals with IGT or T2DM.

Combined impact of lifestyle factors on cancer mortality in men.

Obesity, coffee consumption and CRP levels in postmenopausal overweight/obese women: importance of hormone replacement therapy use.
TL;DR: Among overweight/obese postmenopausal women, coffee consumption is negatively associated with CRP and coffee consumption appears to attenuate the association between BMI and CRP, but only in women not using HRT.

Should we target increased physical activity or less sedentary behavior in the battle against cardiovascular disease risk development
TL;DR: The results from several studies have demonstrated that the effects of sedentary behavior on CVD risk is more pronounced among individuals who are physically inactive, compared to those who are more active, and high levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity appear to eliminate the increased risk of CVD associated with excessive sedentary Behavior.
