Stress does not cause illness

The doctors described the results of a recent international study linking the increase in stress at work and cancer and "unscientific", pointing out that the incidence of this disease depends on several factors , including genetic predisposition, and some negative practices, such as smoking.

"There is a link between work pressure and the risk of colorectal cancer," said researchers at the Huacheng University of Science and Technology of the School of Public Health of China.

The study, published in the latest issue of the International Journal of Cancer, covered 281,290 people living in North America and Europe, monitored the levels of stress and other factors likely to cause cancer. cancer, such as smoking, alcohol, obesity and physical activity.

"The incidence of cancer is higher in Europe and America than in some developing countries, Accept this result?"

"All scientific studies have shown that cancer is linked to factors such as genetic predisposition and some negative practices such as smoking," Al-Shahat told Al Ain. "I think there is a bias in the selection of the sample studied to achieve this unscientific result."

Dr. Mohamed Hamdy, Professor of Oncology at the Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University of Egypt, agrees with the previous opinion, noting that the statistical results are important but not sufficient and that they should be supported by studies clinics, which do not appear in this study, he said.

"We need to know what changes are happening in the body because of the pressure of work to lead to cancer, and without answering this question, these statistical results seem to me to be misleading."
