Increased work pressure warns of cancer

BEIJING (Reuters Health) – Increased levels of stress and stress at work is badociated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, esophagus and lung cancer, according to a recent international study.
The study was led by researchers from the School of Public Health and Science Huazhong University. His findings were published in the latest issue of the International Journal of Cancer.
Epidemiological studies have linked work pressure with cancer risk, but the relationship remains uncertain and whether work-related stress can increase the risk of cancer or other factors such as smoking and smoking. 39, physical activity play a role.
To achieve the results, researchers followed 281,290 people living in North America and Europe.
The researchers monitored stress levels in participants' work, as well as other factors that can cause cancer, such as smoking, alcoholism, obesity, and physical activity. .
After calculating these risks, the researchers observed a link between work pressure and the risk of colorectal cancer in North America.
The researchers also found that work pressure was badociated with an increased risk of esophageal and lung cancer in Europe.
In addition, researchers found no link between work pressure and the risk of prostate, bad or ovarian cancer.
The team noted that there are many biological mechanisms behind cancer due to stress at work, and that these mechanisms require in-depth studies to discover.
Workplace pressure is an important risk factor for colorectal, pulmonary and oesophageal cancers, and people should be aware of the increased risk of cancer, the researchers said.
Future research should focus more on understanding and exploring possible mechanisms for identifying employees who are more exposed than those caused by workplace stress, they said.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, accounting for 13% of the total annual mortality worldwide.
Cancers of the lung, stomach, liver, colon, bad and cervix cause most deaths every year because of cancer, according to the organization.
