(HealthDay)\u2014The same lifestyle habits that protect the heart can also curb the risk of a range of cancers, a large new study confirms.\n <\/p>\n

The study of more than 20,000 U.S. adults found both bad news<\/a> and good news.<\/p>\n

People with risk factors for heart disease also faced increased odds of developing cancer over the next 15 years. On the other hand, people who followed a heart-healthy lifestyle cut their risk of a cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Experts said the findings are no surprise. The American Cancer Society (ACS) has estimated that close to half of cancer deaths in the United States are linked to modifiable factors\u2014including poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise and obesity.<\/p>\n

But the study drives home an important message, according to Marjorie McCullough, senior scientific director for epidemiology research at the ACS.<\/p>\n

“A healthy lifestyle can reduce your risk of the top two killers in the U.S.,” said McCullough, who was not involved in the study.<\/p>\n

Lead researcher Dr. Emily Lau made another point: People often think of diet and exercise as being good for the heart\u2014but may not always recognize their roles in cancer risk.<\/p>\n

“When we’re counseling patients, we should be talking about that,” said Lau, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General<\/a> Hospital in Boston.<\/p>\n

She and her colleagues reported their findings Mar. 16 in the journal JACC: CardioOncology<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The results are based on 20,305 Americans who were 50 years old, on average, when the study began. Lau’s team looked at how well they were adhering to the American Heart Association’s “Life’s Simple 7.”<\/p>\n
