Rich People & Cancer Risk: It is often believed that diseases attack the poor quickly because they lack facilities. However, a new research has revealed something very shocking. The researchers of this research done in Finland claim that rich people are at a higher risk of cancer. After this research came out, a round of discussions has started all over the world. People want to know why the rich are at a higher risk of this deadly disease despite all the facilities. Let us know about this in detail.
of the New York Post Report According to a recent study, the rich are genetically more at risk of fatal diseases like cancer than the poor. Researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland say that the rich are genetically more at risk of breast, prostate and other types of cancer. Whereas the middle class and poor people are genetically more at risk of depression, diabetes, arthritis, lung cancer and alcohol addiction. Scientists have made this claim on the basis of a study done on socio-economic status and diseases.
Lead author Dr. Fiona Hagenbeck of the Institute for Molecular Medicine at the University of Helsinki says that the initial results of this research can be helpful in finding polygenic risk scores. Polygenic risk scores are used to measure the risk of disease based on genetics. This score is being included in the screening protocol for some diseases. The research team has released the results after collecting genomics, socioeconomic status and health data of about 280,000 people aged 35 to 80 years in this research.
Scientists have considered this research to be the first study to discover the link between 19 common diseases occurring in high-income countries. Experts conducting the research believe that analyzing genetic data can be very important for the treatment of a disease. On this basis, screening of many diseases can be helped and it can help in preventing many life-threatening diseases. However, more research is needed in this regard. This research was presented at the Annual Conference of the European Society of Human Genetics held in Germany.
