The objectives of this post-doctoral project are (1) to estimate the effect of different types, intensities and periods of life of physical activity on the risk of cancer; (2) to evaluate the costs of the Brazilian public health system with the treatment of cancers that could potentially be saved by increasing physical activity. For the first objective of the project, we will use data fro…
