The Claim
In Switzerland from 2015 to 2019, 25.2% of potentially preventable cancer cases were associated with modifiable lifestyle risk factors including tobacco smoking, high alcohol consumption, excess body weight, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet, based on observational data from national surveys and literature reviews.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In Switzerland, about one out of every four cancer cases that could have been avoided were linked to things people can change, like smoking, drinking too much, being overweight, not exercising enough, and eating poorly.

In Switzerland between 2015 and 2019, 25.2% of potentially preventable cancer cases were associated with modifiable lifestyle risk factors including tobacco smoking, high alcohol consumption, excess body weight, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet, based on observational data from national surveys and literature reviews.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Cancer cases attributable to modifiable lifestyle risk factors in Switzerland between 2015 and 2019
The study looked at the same lifestyle factors and found exactly 25.2% of preventable cancer cases were linked to them in Switzerland from 2015 to 2019, so it supports the claim.
