In women, high occupational physical activity was associated with a reduced risk of non-viral HCC, with ORs (95% CIs) of 0.65 (0.45\u20130.93). Among patients with non-viral HCC, medium occupational physical activity combined with medium alcohol intake further decreased the HCC risk in men with an OR of 0.70 (0.50\u20130.97), while high occupational physical activity combined with lowest alcohol intake decreased the HCC risk in women with an OR of 0.69 (0.48\u20130.99). Men and women with medium sedentary time had a lower HCC risk compared with those with long sedentary time, with ORs of 0.88 (0.79\u20130.98) in men and 0.77 (0.62\u20130.97) in women, respectively.
