問題詳情:
Taller men and women are more likely to develop cancer than their shorter peers,
according to a major study that sheds new light on the link between height and the
disease.
Researchers in Sweden found the risk of women developing cancer of any kind
rose by 18% for every extra l0cm of height, while for men the risk rose by 11% -
although height is not as great a risk for cancer as smoking, overweight and a poor
diet.
Dr Emelie Benyi of the Karolinska Institute, who led the research, said there
were several possible reasons for the link. "One is that taller people have a larger
number of cells in their body which could potentially transform to cancer. It could
also be that taller individuals have a higher energy intake which has previously been
linked to cancer." .
The study analyzed data on 5.5 million people born between 1938 and 1991,
with heights ranging from l00cm (3ft 3in) to 225cm (7ft 6in).
Assessing the impact of height on developing different forms of cancer, they
found the increased risk was highest in skin cancer, rising 30% for every l0cm in
height. They observed a 20% increase in the risk of taller women getting breast cancer.
The Swedish researchers did not look at possible confusing factors such as
smoking in their study, but the size of the sample and the good quality data meant that
it could be taken seriously even though the full results have not been published, other
scientists said.
The early results of the study, conducted by scientists from the Karolinska
Institute and University of Stockholm, were presented at the annual European Society
for Paediatric Endocrinology conference in Barcelona and will be published in full in
due course.
