Abstract:
Preliminary analysis of data (N=2,441) drawn from an ongoing population-based study of people of Korean descent who reside in California revealed the presence of selected cancer risk factors, especially tobacco use and lack of vigorous exercise. Men and women differed in cancer risks, with men being more likely than women to be smokers, less likely to exercise, more likely to be obese, and more likely to consume alcohol. Although relationships between demographic characteristics and cancer risks differed in strength by gender, patterns of correlation were similar among men and women. Future studies should explore the relationship between lifestyle and health risk interactions by gender in greater detail.
