Taller people may have an increased risk for cancer. While there are many factors that may increase people’s risk for cancer, a new study has reported that height might be another one to add to the list. “Its results found that for every extra 10cm (4in) of height, when fully grown, the risk of developing cancer increased by 18% in women and 11% in men…Taller women had a 20% greater risk of developing breast cancer, they said, while taller men and women increased their risk of skin cancer (or melanoma) by 30%.” Experts that have reviewed the study say that it left out many other factors and that taller people have no reason to worry at the moment.

Daily exercise could improve osteoarthritis symptoms. Walking and other forms of light daily exercise can be good for your joints even if you have osteoarthritis, a new study reports. “In general, the exercise programs significantly reduced pain and moderately improved physical function of the knee immediately after treatment. Some studies also found that general quality of life improved. Twelve studies followed up with participants two to six months later and found that knee pain was still reduced, as the authors explain in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.” The study noted that exercising joints that are deteriorating from osteoarthritis may seem counterintuitive, but the exercise actually builds up and strengthens the muscle to provide pain relief.
