7% versus 14%
"The death rate during the five to 11 years for which the women were followed up was 7 per cent among those who led a healthy lifestyle, half that of those who did not."
The abstract talks about the equivalent of a 30 minute walk six times a week, so this was covered.
OK, 7 out of 100 women not having a recurrence isn't massive, but then again it is substantial. In the herceptin after chemo trial the difference was 8 out of 100 women not recurring. And, of course, veggies and exercise have other health benefits as well.
The big difference here is that it is not a randomised controlled study: maybe the veggie-eating, exercising women were different.
