Jane Green and her colleagues have watched nearly 1.3 million women within 9 years, recorded the height, 19 different cancer area and at least 10 other important factors such as economic status, social, age, intensity of substance use. Throughout the research process, rather than 97.000 cancer was discovered. In it, 10 types of cancer (including colon cancer, breast cancer and leukemia) in particular has appeared just under the height factor.

This is not the first study to focus on the height as of this point. Prior to that, Dr. Jaime Guevara-Aguirre of Quito, Ecuador, after a study on 99 dwarves in Ecuador has also concluded that those with modest height then the risk of cancer or diabetes is lower. Among 99 people, in the end there is only one women diagnosed with cancer. And after the treatment, she also was cured completely.

Another study in the u.s. also showed this risk in men. Dr. Michael Blaise Cook has launched several factors related to the height can affect the risk of testicular cancer. After analyzing 13 studies conducted previously, American scientists have found: just add height 5 cm, the risk for testicular cancer is also increased by 13%. However, this p < is just the hypothesis has not been proven.

Much more research will be conducted to confirm the accuracy of this conclusion. And, to the best cancer prevention, best we should more careful with other factors can cause disease such as smoking, sun radiation, not safe sex. The height is only the elements observed and are continuing to be verified.=
