Age and cancer risk: a potentially modifiable relationship.

摘要: This article challenges the idea that cancer cannot be prevented among older adults by examining different aspects of relationship between age and cancer. Although sequential patterns aging changed, several age-related factors contribute to disease risk can be. For most adults, is coincidentally associated with preventable chronic conditions, avoidable exposures, modifiable behaviors are causally Midlife a period life when prevalence multiple high incidence rates begin increase for many types However, current evidence suggests does not have an inevitable consequence growing older. Interventions support healthy environments, help people manage promote may make healthier transition from midlife reduce likelihood developing Because number reaching ages increasing rapidly, new cases will also if remain unchanged. Thus, need translate available research into practice prevention, especially at midlife, has never been greater.
