Abstract Most physical activity research focuses on general populations, and its cancer-preventive benefits in adults with cardiometabolic diseases remain poorly understood. This study investigated associations between non-occupational physical activity and cancer risk in adults with and without cardiometabolic diseases (cardiovascular disease and/or type 2 diabetes).

1 Introduction Gastric cancer (GC), with the fourth highest mortality rate and the fifth highest incidence among all malignant diseases, is a common cancer that threatens human health (Sung et al., 2021). China is at a high risk of GC, with more than 6.7 million newly diagnosed cases and approximately 5 million new deaths each year, accounting for 42% and 45% of the global cases, respectively (Chen et al., 2016).
