Br J Cancer: Tall and high risk of these cancers!

Although easy to measure, height is a complex esolyso, determined by a variety of biological and sociological factors.
previous studies have shown that height is associated with many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer.
-looking cohort studies have shown that height is closely associated with a high risk of cancer in multiple locations.
it is not clear whether the correlation between height and cancer is due to differences in insulin-like growth factors.
, the study aims to analyze the gender-specific association between height and 24 site-specific cancers and assess whether the association is related to IGF-1.
researchers collected 414,923 participants from the British Bios sample bank Prospective Cohort study.
the correlation between height (5 cm per increase) and cancer morbidity and mortality in 24 locations was analyzed using the Cox regression model.
follow-up time for the study was 6 years.
men's height was associated with cancer risk Researchers found a positive correlation between male height and the risk of all-cause cancer and five sites (lung, lymphatic, leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and melanoma).
height was associated with cancer risk in women, height was associated with all-cause cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
compared with male and female sex height with cancer risk, women were more likely than men to have a higher incidence of all-cause cancer.
and the intensity of the association between height and cancer does not vary depending on the concentration of IGF-1.
, the results showed that adult height was associated with a risk of cancer in certain areas.
of these associations is gender-related.
there is currently no strong evidence of the link between IGF-1 and its relevance.
