阿米什人会得癌症吗?会,但比他们的邻居少

  • 一项针对俄亥俄州霍姆斯县 9,992 名阿米什成年人的 2010 年研究发现,1996 年至 2003 年间,其癌症发病率为每 10 万人年 389.5 例,仅为俄亥俄州其他白人居民发病率的 60%。
  • 与烟草相关的癌症发病率仅为俄亥俄州平均水平的 37%;该定居点中仅有 17.6% 的阿米什男性使用烟草,而阿米什女性则完全不使用。

  • 研究中的阿米什人摄入的蔬菜较少,饱和脂肪摄入量高于邻居,因此饮食因素并不能解释这种差异。
  • 阿米什成年人接受癌症筛查的频率要低得多,他们的乳腺癌和结直肠癌往往在晚期才被发现。

The gap is widest for cancers caused by tobacco. How much lower is the Amish cancer rate? The study, by Judith Westman and colleagues, appeared in Cancer Causes & Control in 2010. The researchers drew 130…
