"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The importance and urgency of this research are underscored by the rising incidence of breast cancer in young women and the alarmingly low levels of recreational physical activity observed both in this study and among adolescents across the United States and globally. Our findings suggest that recreational physical activity is associated with breast tissue composition and stress biomarker changes in adolescent girls, independent of body fat, which could have important implications for breast cancer risk."
A new analysis found that teenage girls who engaged in at least two hours of physical activity in the previous week had a lower percentage of water content in their breast tissue. Lower breast tissue water content is a key predictor of reduced breast cancer risk. Recreational physical activity was associated with changes in breast tissue composition and stress biomarkers in adolescent girls independent of body fat. The findings align with earlier research in adult women linking physical activity to favorable breast tissue characteristics. Rising breast cancer incidence among young women and low adolescent activity levels suggest potential preventive implications for early-life exercise.
