Simple Summary Unhealthy lifestyles are known to increase the risk of cancer. This study investigated the long-term cumulative and combined effects of three major unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (smoking, drinking, and lack of regular physical activity) on cancer among older Korean men, after considering the high incidence of cancer and the dominance of correctable, unhealthy lifestyle behaviors among older men within South Korea. Overall, the risk of cancer increased along with increasing lifestyle risk scores reflecting unhealthy behaviors over an 8-year period. These findings highlight the importance of practicing and maintaining healthy lifestyles to prevent cancer in older Korean men.
