Study: Taller Women Are More Likely To Develop Cancer
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A new study shows a connection between the height of a woman and her risk of developing cancer.
Apparently, the taller you are, the greater the risk.
Researchers at Oxford University say the risk of cancer goes up 16 percent for every four-inch increase in height.
They say diet, genetic factors and growth hormones help determine height, and those factors may also relate to risk factors for cancer.
