This study aimed to determine the population-attributable fractions (PAFs) of cancers using various calculation methods and estimate PAFs cancer incidence mortality resulting from deficit in physical activity (DPA) 2015 2030, based on data prevalence rates. The PAF was estimated a cohort study-based meta-analysis relative risk (RR), national rates DPA 2000 2015, statistics with latency 15 years. In contributed 909 cases 548 deaths, accounting for 0.42% 0.68% new respectively. By values are expected increase 1.31% 1.80% mortality, continual 2030. When low metabolic equivalent task (MET) criteria were selected, decreased both mortality. calculated <900 MET-min/week sex-specific MET criterion higher than that associated is rise men women. Future research strategies should emphasize promotion prevention, considering its significant implications public health.
