High blood pressure is linked to increased risk of developing or dying from cancer
http://feeds.sciencedaily.com —
Raised blood pressure is linked to a higher risk of developing cancer or dying from the disease according to the findings of the largest study to date to investigate the association between the two conditions. There had been contradictory results from previous, smaller studies investigating the link between cancer and blood pressure. However, this new study, which included 289,454 men and 288,345 women, showed that higher than normal blood pressure was statistically significantly associated with a 10-20% higher risk of developing cancer in men, and a higher risk of dying from the disease in both men and women.
