Bad News for Tall Women

Would you believe taller women are more likely to get cancer? Researchers at Oxford University have found that this is true for women in the United Kingdom. The article reporting these findings in The Daily Mail (U.K.) says the following:

A study carried out at Oxford University found the risk of cancer increased by around 16 per cent with every four inches of height. (snip) They found those who were 5ft 9in tall were more than 33 per cent more likely to get cancer than those who were just 5ft.

The study utilized the medical records of a million British women and looked at ten common forms of cancer. The study reported no findings for men.
