Men are more than twice as likely to develop the disease as women, even after excluding lifestyle factors.
Men have a higher risk of developing cancer due to internal biological differences. Therefore, bad habits fade into the background in this regard. This is stated in a study by the US National Cancer Institute, Daily Mail.
The study involved 300,000 middle-aged and older Americans who had been cancer-free for 15 years. Specifically, scientists studied the prevalence of various types of cancer in 171,274 men and 122,826 women between 1995 and 2011. The results showed that the incidence of cancer in men was 11 times more higher than in women – only two cases of esophageal cancer in women per 100,000 person-years, compared to 22 cases in men.
“This suggests that there are inherent biological differences between men and women that influence cancer predisposition,” said lead researcher Dr. and epidemiologist Sarah Jackson.
Researchers have suggested that differences in genes, hormones and the immune system play a role.
Drinking alcohol has also been shown to increase the risk of developing mouth and throat cancers. Being overweight increases the risk of developing many types of cancer, including cancers of the colon, kidney, uterus, and esophagus. Overweight women who go through menopause have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
At the same time, maintaining a healthy body weight lowers the risk of cancer and other health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.
At the same time, men are 11 times more likely to develop cancer of the esophagus and four times more likely to develop cancer of the stomach or throat. They are also three times more likely to be diagnosed with bladder cancer. And the male sex hormone testosterone may increase the likelihood of skin, prostate, and liver cancers in men by promoting cell growth.
Remember, scientists from the California University of Public Health in San Francisco called a sudden signal that could indicate the development of leukemia. It shows up in the morning.
Doctors called the new symptoms blood cancer
