A recent analysis of UK Biobank data found that adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute of Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) lifestyle recommendations was associated with a slight increase in the risk of prostate cancer. The authors suggest that this may be due to detection bias, as men who were more health-conscious and adhered to the recommendations were more likely to seek preventive healthcare measures, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. It is important to note that the study did not differentiate between tumor subtypes, and further research is needed to determine the association between a healthy lifestyle and the risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
