Dr. Frisch's data came from comparing the medical histories of 2,622 women who had been involved in college sports with 2,776 non athletes. Except for the exercise factor, the two groups shared similar diets, similar patterns of family cancer and smoking histories. The study also showed that the former college athletes were more likely to continue exercising and showing lower cancer rates.
