People who live in cold areas increase their risk of cancer

Research indicates that people who live in these can increase.

There is a linear relationship between high incidence of cancer and lower ambient temperature.

According to this study, people living in areas with low temperatures such as in Denmark and Norway have the highest cancer rates in the world. In the study published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, the researchers showed that there is an increased link between adapting to harsh environmental conditions such as cold and high altitudes and increasing risk. cancer in humans.

Konstantinos Voskarides from Cyprus University said: 'The results of the study provide evidence that suggests genetic variations are beneficial in harsh environments, which may also lead to cancer .'

Researchers focus on the effects of low temperatures or high altitudes.

Their analysis focused on the relationship between cancer risk and average annual temperature. They concluded that extremely cold environments contribute to increased risk of cancer.

In addition, an analysis of more than 186 people indicated a linear relationship between a high incidence of cancer and a lower environmental temperature. This data indicates that this population group has a high incidence of cancer, especially, breast and.
