Big breasts may increase diabetes risk, says study PDF Print E-mail
According to a new study conducted by researchers at Harvard University and the University of Toronto, women with big breasts might be prone to diabetes. The findings of this study, titled the Nurses' Health Study, has been published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. However, critics say that there are many other factors that lead to the onset of diabetes and not just the size of breasts.
Highlights of the Nurses' Health Study
a. Researchers studied 92,106 women volunteers.
b. The average age of the volunteers was 38.
c. Participants were asked to recall their bra size at the age of 20.
d. It was seen that women with who had a D cup or larger size at the age of 20 had about three times higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
e. It was also seen that women who wore B cup and C cup bras experienced a higher risk for the development of diabetes than women who wore an A cup.
f. Researchers also took into account the age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, eating habits, family history of diabetes, physical activity level and pregnancies of the volunteers.
