Urban women more likely than rural women suffering from breast cancer

Has been the latest study from the United Kingdom, urban women than in suburban or rural women have a more intensive breast tissue, while the more dense breast tissue means that the greater the risk of breast cancer. The research results published in the British “scientific life (LiveScienc” website. According to the study authors伦敦格蕾斯Princess hospital doctor Nicholas • Perry introduced if women live away from the more densely populated areas near cities, then the breast organization may have more intensive, breast tissue density means that for every 1 ‰ increase their chances of developing breast cancer growth in 2 ‰

The study of Greece’s rural women and urban and suburban women in the United Kingdom made a comparative study of the survey selected 972 female breast X-ray film, these women aged 29 years to 87 years, of whom 225 live in rural areas , 135 people live in rural areas, 257 people or working or living in urban areas.

Perry and his colleagues eventually found that urban women have a higher risk of dense breast tissue of women living in rural areas and the rural woman is only 54 ‰ higher than the rural women in 14 ‰.

New York University, Julia • Dr. Smith stressed that dense breast tissue and breast size are not directly related to the breast tissue is more dense thymic tissue and ducts rather than fatty tissue. More thymus indicates that cancer cells have more regional development or hidden. American Cancer Society statistics show that each year nearly 18 million women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer, of which about 4 million people died of this disease; lifetime, about 1 / 8 women will develop into breast cancer. Known risk factors have a family history of breast cancer, early menarche at 12 years old, 55 years after the menopause, infertility or first birth after the age of 30 refused to breast-feeding, sedentary work, obesity and alcoholism.

Experts point out that this study might have been a city of the environmental impact of city living, for example, urban women have a better diet, but usually very little movement, these two factors will give rise to breast of a female-intensive organizations. Perry is worth noting that there are many lifestyle factors and look forward to their own research can lead to more attention in order to have more research position here, and eventually reveal the phenomenon of the veil.
