Scientists have indicated a lifestyle factor that can increase the opportunities of women to develop breast cancer with almost a third.
Researchers analyzed health data from 168,547 postmenopausal women and found a connection between being overweight and developing the disease.
And the chance was even higher for women who have heart conditions.
Researchers thought that For every 5 kg/m2 increase in Body Mass Index (BMI), women with heart disease had a 31 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the meantime, women without heart conditions had a 13 percent higher risk of developing breast cancer for the same increase in BMI.
BMI – Body Mass Index – is calculated by sharing the weight of a person by his height and is used all over the world to benchmark if someone is underweight, of a ‘normal’ healthy weight, overweight or obese.
The combination of overweight and having heart disease would be estimated to lead to 153 more cases of breast cancer per 100,000 people every year than expected.
However, the development of type two diabetes turned out not to be linked to a higher risk of breast cancer due to the International Agency for Research on Cancer Team.
The study suggests that raising the pounds could lower the risk of breast cancer of women.
Main author of the study, Dr. Heinz Freisling, who works in the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization, said: ‘The findings of this study can be used to inform the screening programs for risk-stratified breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer of the UK with nearly 56,000 cases that are diagnosed per year
“This study must also inspire future research to contain women with a history of cardiovascular disorders in research into weight loss for breast cancer.”
The findings have been published by Wiley Online and in CANCERA peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.
Some studies suggest that fatty tissue produces excess quantities of the hormone estrogen, which is linked to breast cancer in high levels.
Earlier this year, Danish researchers revealed that being obese, breast cancer survivors are more likely to die from the disease.
Weight -related health problems, such as high blood pressure and high blood sugars, as well as surplus body fat, also brought the risk of the disease, by 70 percent.
The scientists theoretized that this combination – medically known as metabolic syndrome – tries inflammation in the body, so that the immune system prevents cancer cells from fighting effectively.
It is amid an alarming prediction earlier this year that deaths from breast cancer in the UK will rise by more than 40 percent by 2050.
By the same year, another study estimated that there will be 3.2 million new cases and 1.1 million breast -related deaths per year if the current trends continue.
The disease is much more common in people older than 50, which is the age of women who usually experience the menopause.
Symptoms of breast cancer to pay attention are nodules and swellings, hole of the skin, changes in color, discharge and a rash or crust around the nipple
But alarming research has suggested that breast cancer cases worldwide in the 1950s rise in alarming phenomenon that experts has stunned.
It is the most common type of cancer in the UK and takes the life of around 11,500 British and 42,000 Americans every year.
Early signs of the disease are a lump in the breast, swelling or lump in the armpit, change in size or shape of breasts, discharge of liquid from the nipple.
Others include pit, a rash or redness on the skin, as well as crust, flaky or itchy skin on the nipple.
Despite years of supplications of cancer characters, more than a third of women in the UK still do not regularly judge their breasts.
However, it should be part of your monthly routine, so you can notice any unusual changes, Coppafeel said earlier.
You can check the shower when you are in bed or in the mirror before you get dressed.
Because breast tissue is not only found in your breasts, it is also important that men and women control the tissue to their collarbone and under their armpit.
There is no good or wrong way to check your breasts, as long as you know what your breasts usually look and feel, the NHS says.
But one of the most popular methods online includes the use of the pads of your fingers.
Investigating your entire breast and armpit area, just rubbing and feeling from top to the bottom of the chest.
You also have to feel in semi-circles and in a circular movement around your breast tissue to feel for any abnormalities, according to a guide shared in a blog post from the University of Nottingham.
Then look in the mirror for visual nodules, skin texture and changes and changes in nipple form or abnormal discharge.
If you see changes, you must have them checked by your doctor.
Women between the ages of 50 and 70 must also attend routine screening on breast cancer.
