With all the that is happen around the world globally. One will agree with me that it is only God the can see one through because talk of these cancer of a thing the source is yet to be discover.
Different research here and there. I came across this article in the dailies to day so I decide to share it.
The taller a Postmenopausal woman is, the greater her risk for developing cancer, according to a study published in cancer Epidemiology, Bio-markers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for cancer Research.
Height was linked to cancer of the breast, colon, endometrium, kidney, ovary, rectum, and thyroid, as well as to multiple myeloma and melanoma, and these association did not change even after adjusting for factors known to influence these cancers, in this study of 20,928 postmenopausal women, identified from a large cohort of 144, 701 women recruited to the women's health initiative.
"We were surprised at the number of cancer sites that were positively associated with height. In this data set, more cancers are associated with body mass index (BMI)". said Geoffrey Kabat, Ph.D., senior Epidemiologist in the Department of Edidemiology and Population Health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York, N.Y.
"Ultimately, cancer is a result of processes having to do with growth, so it makes sense that hormones or other growth factors that influence height may also influence cancer risk".
Some genetic variations associated with height are also linked to cancer risk, and more studies are needed to better understand how these height related genetic variations predispose some men and women to cancer, according to the authors.
My Prayer is that God deliver us from this deadly diseases. Amen
