Body may Indicate Health

July 29th, 2009

Heads high :

Breast cancer. Higher than 175 cm is very easy women with breast cancer and thus died.One reason is that the hormones affect women’s height will cause an increase in breast tissue, breast duct the more easy to suffer from breast cancer.

Prostate cancer. Boston 1 pairs of 22000 men, follow a 12-year study found that over 182 cm in men than 170 centimeters tall, men suffering from prostate cancer increased by 59%. Research shows that men, each 10 cm higher than the increased risk of cancer, 6%.

Pancreatic cancer. More than 185 cm for men and more than 168 cm of pancreatic cancer in women who likely than others to increase 81%. U.S. National Cancer Institute researcher, said, each 2.5 cm higher than suffering from pancreatic cancer risk will increase by 6% -10%. University of Washington, a study shows that this may be because tall people the hormone will also increase the risk of cancerous cell growth.

 


 


A large number of overseas research found that the human body from head to toe, the proportion of different parts of the body often indicates the occurrence of different diseases.

Short stature :

Heart disease. Harvard University, a study suggests that men 170 cm tall, compared with more than 185 centimeters of men more prone to heart disease. Higher than the 2.5 cm height each, the risk reduction of 2% -3%. The reason is the corresponding short men’s blood vessels are narrow, more easily blocked, causing heart disease.

Gastric cancer. Researchers at the University of Bristol, said the stomach with Helicobacter pylori infection, the virus has also contributed to the direct cause of peptic ulcer. If the child is infected with Helicobacter pylori period will lead to slow growth. Therefore, the short stature of human gastric cancer incidence is relatively high.

Short neck a large waist

Heart disease. Double chin, neck short and thick the heart may be an unhealthy sign. Framingham Heart Study, the U.S. Institute of expert survey of 3300 the average age of 51-year-old volunteers, results showed that for every male neck circumference increased by 3 cm, high-density lipoprotein in vivo average of 0.12mmol / L, women’s lower 0.15 mmol / L. Therefore, the scientists believe that neck circumference is a measure of human upper body fat natural way, while the upper body fat and heart disease are closely linked.

In addition, men high waist measurement the probability of heart disease 42% higher than the other male, female waist crude probability of suffering from heart disease than other women, higher than 44%. Scientists in France between 1967-1984 died of heart disease of more than 7,000 middle-aged French police conducted a study focused on analysis of waist circumference and body mass index BMI (global common standard for judging whether a person is overweight and obesity) on the disease impact. It was found that portly men are more likely to die suddenly, the risk of sudden death increases with increasing waist circumference.

Short legs

Diabetes. The shorter legs than the legs are 20 percent higher risk of disease. University of Bristol, one pairs of 4200′s studies have shown that leg length for each additional 4.3 centimeters, the risk of diabetes by 19%. There are many reasons, infant malnutrition, will directly affect the leg’s development, for this reason is also related to the occurrence of diabetes.

High blood pressure. University of London, one pairs of 3,000 people from birth began tracking studies have shown that the shorter legs, hypertension and higher risk. Especially those in the first year of birth for people with limited increase in height more easily in old age suffer vascular problems.

Liver damage. University of Bristol and his colleagues on the 3600 60-79 year-old volunteers were studied. The researchers measured the volunteers, the length of the leg and trunk length were compared with the same time, volunteers also examined indicators of live function. The results showed that, in these persons, the shorter legs, the more likely to be signs of liver injury, the exclusion of smoking, drinking and other behavior factors, the association still exists.
