- Non-Narrative Text
- description
- A short text (480 words) that deals with the preventability of cancer cases. It shows that lifestyle factors such as smoking, unhealthy diet, obesity and physical inactivity are responsible for about 40% of cancer cases. It also suggests ways to reduce the risk of cancer through behavioural changes in these areas. A special focus is on nutrition and physical activity. The text was developed on the basis of the Protection Motivation Theory.
