Beware of Men Singles / Bujang Cancer Prone
Men who are single for the elderly at home was at high risk of dyingfrom cancer. According to a survey conducted in Norway.
In the survey from the University of Oslo researchers analyzed life expectancy of cancer patients diagnosed between 1970 and 2007and compared the patient's marital status.
The result is known male mortality and cancer has never beenmarried almost doubled, ie, 18-35 percent, while the death rate of married men 17-22 percent.
The risk of death in men who are still single is higher regardless of age, tumor location, time since diagnosis and stage of cancer.
"The difference in life expectancy in the two groups of cancer patients may be influenced by general health at time of diagnosis ortype of treatment received by cancer patients," said Astri Syse of the Cancer Registry of Norway.
The researchers believe the differences between married andsingle men may be even higher if it included the status of couples"cohabiting".
"One problem with these types of studies that exist now are peoplewho live at home without being married are included in the category of single, divorced or widow and two. As a result they are considered to have health benefits as married people," said one researcher.
