\nis, the greater her risk for a number of cancers, including breast,
\ncolon and skin cancer, among others. The finding<\/a>,
\npublished in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, is not
\nexpected to change screening recommendations and shouldn\u2019t alarm those
\nwith a tall stature. Instead, say scientists, the association between
\nheight and cancer may help guide researchers to study hormones and
\ngrowth factors that influence height and may also play a role in cancer.<\/p>\n
\nfound an association between height and cancer among men. One study<\/a>
\nfound that taller men were at slightly higher risk for aggressive
\nprostate cancer. In May, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute
\nreported that height differences between men and women may help explain
\nwhy men have an overall greater risk of developing cancer in non-sex
\nspecific organs like kidneys and lungs. That study, of 65,000 men and women<\/a>, showed that sex differences in height may explain a third to a half of a man\u2019s excess cancer risk compared to women.<\/p>\n
\nHealth Initiative, the largest-ever study of postmenopausal women. The
\nresearchers identified 20,928 women who had received a cancer diagnosis
\nduring the 12-year study period. The data set included not only the
\nwoman\u2019s height but also her age, weight, education, smoking habits,
\nalcohol consumption and whether she used hormone therapy. This allowed
\nthe scientists to control for other factors that could influence cancer
\nrisk and more closely determine the strength of the association with
\nheight.<\/p>\n
\npercent increase in risk for developing any type of cancer. The cancers
\nmost strongly associated with height were cancers of the kidney, rectum,
\nthyroid and blood. Risk for those cancers increased by 23 to 29 percent
\nfor every 4-inch increase in height.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
