In a randomized clinical trial with active adults aged 70 and older, Bischoff-Ferrari sought out to determine the individual and combined effects of Vitamin D, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and home exercise on cancer risk (Bischoff-Ferrari et al., 2022). A total of 2157 participants with a mean age of 74.9 randomly followed either an individual intervention or a combination of interventions. These were omega-3 supplementation (daily 166.6mg EPA +333.3mg DHA), vitamin-D supplementation (1000 IU of Vitamin D3) and simple home exercise program. The authors reported that all these individual interventions caused a reduction in cancer risk, which was strengthened when interventions were combined.
