Exploring the Linkage between Activity-Friendly Zoning, Inactivity, and Cancer Incidence in the United States
Conclusions: Zoning can help to create activity-friendly environments that support decreased inactivity, and possibly reduced cancer incidence.
Impact: Given low physical activity levels nationwide, cross-sectoral collaborations with urban planning can inform cancer prevention and public health efforts to decrease inactivity and cancer. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 26(4); 578–86. ©2017 AACR.
