} The last 50 years has seen a better understanding of the causes and treatments of cancer. } Hence, early detection and technolgy has improved the prognosos of cancer patients to an unprecedented level. } Exposure to a wide variety of natural and manufactured substances in the environment accounts for at least two-thirds all cancer cases.
These environmental factors include lifestyle choices such as Cigarette smoking, Excessive alcohol consumption, Poor diet, Lack of exercise, Excessive sunlight exposure, and Sexual behavior that increases exposure to certain viruses. Other factors include exposure to certain medical drugs, hormones, radiation,
The environmental factors include also environmental chemicals possibly present in the air, water, food, and workplace. In workplace, occupational groups have higher exposures to environmental chemicals than does the general population. have More cancer risks associated with these many environmental chemicals than does the general population.

Dietary habits* Mediterranean Diet adherence was measured according to a modified MeDi score based on the weekly frequency of intake of eight food groups (vegetables, legumes, fruits, cereal or potatoes, fish, red meat, dairy products and olive oil) Greater MeDi adherence was characterized by higher intake of vegetables, fresh fruits, legumes, cereals, fish and olive oil and by lower intake of red meat and dairy products Low MeDi adherence: 29.9 % In women: 28.6% In men: 31.5% In urban area: 27.3% In rural area: 33.3% * Under review in BMC Public Health 19

} } } The prevalence of life style and occupational risk factor of cancer is high. These results contributed to elaboration of the national plan for prevention and control against cancer. To curb the progression of life style and occupational risk factor in Morocco: intervention strategies should be implemented in the general population but also a target group identified by the } study. Others studies are necessary in others population in industry Several studies are currently underway to evaluate cancer program prevention and detection and to best understand some others contributing factors.
