Long-term exercise in older men can prevent prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in male prostate tissue and is the result of abnormal and disordered growth of prostate acinar cells. More than 95% of prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas that occur in prostate glandular tissue. Their development usually follows a certain sequence: confined to the prostate - invading the prostate capsule - breaking through the prostate capsule - invading the seminal vesicles - metastasizing to adjacent regional lymph nodes - metastasizing to bones or other organs.

The incidence of prostate cancer increases sharply with age, and most prostate cancer patients are over 65 years old. Basically, the incidence of prostate cancer almost doubles with every 10 years of age after 40 years old. The risk of prostate cancer in men aged 50-59 is 10%, while the risk of prostate cancer in men aged 80-89 increases sharply to 70%. Prevention of prostate cancer is extremely important, so if men over 65 years old do more than three hours of strenuous exercise per week, such as badminton, running, cycling, swimming, etc., then the risk of such elderly people developing prostate cancer or dying from prostate cancer can be reduced by about 80%. In addition, long-term strenuous exercise can also slow down the progression of prostate cancer in elderly men.

Life lies in exercise. The incidence of prostate cancer in elderly men who exercise regularly for a long time is lower than that in elderly men who do not exercise.
