A worldwide team of scientists looked into 34 risk factors for 23 distinct types of cancer to see how they contributed to mortality and bad health.
This study was conducted as part of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) effort, according to the Lancet.
According to World Health Organization data, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, killing around 10 million people by 2020. (deaths from all other causes are less than 60 million).
Researchers correlated four variables using GBD data. 45 million deaths in 2019 are attributed to 34 behavioural factors, of which 2. Males made up 88 million (50.6%), with 1. Women made up 58 million (36.3 percent) (smoking, alcoholic beverages, unprotected sex, poor diet, etc. ).
Malignancies of the bronchi, bronchi, or lungs were responsible for 36 of the cases. 9% of all fatalities Men died from colon cancer (13.3%), esophageal cancer (9.7%), and stomach cancer (6.7%).
Women were killed by cervical cancer (17.9%), bowel cancer (15.8%), and breast cancer (15.8%). (11 percent). Preeclampsia is more common in men than in women because men smoke and drink more alcohol. Another issue is that men are more likely than women to be exposed to carcinogenic substances at work.
It should be noted that this is the first study to investigate the impact of risk factors at the global, regional, and national levels, as well as across age groups and genders.
.
More than a third of cancer deaths are caused by smoking and other unhealthy habits.
