The Claim
Between 2015 and 2019, observational data indicated that males in Switzerland exhibited a higher proportion of lifestyle-attributable cancer cases (28.4%, 6945 cases per year) compared to females (21.9%, 4493 cases per year).
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, more men than women got cancers linked to lifestyle habits like diet or smoking between 2015 and 2019.
