Huang Xuan, a Taiwanese thoracic and critical care specialist, recently (26th)Facebook pageissued an article pointing out that there are 5 types of people who have a higher risk of cancer than normal people:
1. Family history of cancer
Dr. Huang Xuan cited research and pointed out that within the familythird degree relativeIf someone has ever suffered from lung cancer, the risk of developing lung cancer will be 2 to 9 times higher than that of the average person. People who have parents who have had cancer must pay extra attention.
If brothers and sisters (second degree relative), if 2 people suffer from lung cancer, your chance of developing lung cancer may increase by 50%.
If parents (first degree relative) have suffered from colorectal cancer, the chance of their children developing colorectal cancer will be 2 to 3 times higher than that of the general population. If one parent has suffered from colorectal cancer before the age of 50, the risk of their children suffering from colorectal cancer is three times higher.
2. Obesity
In recent years, many foreign studies have pointed out that obesity can increase the risk of cancer. British research shows that for every 5-point increase in BMI, the risk of obesity-related cancer increases by 11%. People with cardiovascular disease have a 17% higher risk of cancer than the average person under the same circumstances. In addition, the research team of Dr. Heinz Freisling of the French International Cancer Research Center (IARC‑WHO) has also worked on “BMC Medicine》International journal published relevant research on obesity as a major cause of cancer.
3. Have the habit of smoking or drinking alcohol
Dr. Huang Xuan pointed out that smokers have a 14% higher chance of developing lung cancer in their lifetime than the general population: non-smokers have a 1% chance of developing cancer, while smokers have a 15% chance of developing cancer. In addition, alcoholics are also at high risk, and women are more likely to develop cancer than men: men’s risk increases by 1.9%, while women’s risk increases by 3.6%.
4. Over 40 years old
It is understood that the risk of developing thyroid cancer for people aged 30 to 39 will increase by 0.44%, and even as high as 3.5% by the age of 60.
According to past clinical data, nearly 90% of colorectal cancer patients are 50 years old or above. The older they are, the higher the chance of developing cancer. The chance of cancer in men is 1.5 times that of women.
5. Frequent negative emotions
According to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), people who are chronically stressed have a higher risk of developing lung, colorectal, breast, and pancreatic cancer than the average person. Therefore, the research team concluded that stress can cause chronic inflammation, but chronic inflammation is also an indirect cause of cancer.
