Exercise May Cut Older Women's Breast Cancer Risk [09/26/2001; Reuters Health] NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Older women who exercise may be less likely than their inactive peers to develop breast cancer, Dutch researchers have found. Women who biked or walked for more than an hour each day had a 19% reduction in their odds of developing breast cancer, according to Dr. Miranda J. M. Dirx of Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The findings, which are published in the September 15th issue of the journal Cancer, add to a growing body of evidence linking physical activity to a reduced risk of breast cancer.
