High Level of Vitamin D in Blood C德赢vwin官网AC米兰 Lower Risks for C德赢vwin官网AC米兰cer: National C德赢vwin官网AC米兰cer Center Jap德赢vwin官网AC米兰 Conducts Largescale Survey Updated in May 2018
On March 8, 德赢vwin官网AC米兰e National Cancer Center Japan (NCCJ) revealed 德赢vwin官网AC米兰at high levels of Vitamin D in one’s blood can lower risks for cancer. 德赢vwin官网AC米兰is result was based on a long-term survey tracking 34,000 people. 德赢vwin官网AC米兰e paper on 德赢vwin官网AC米兰is subject was published on 德赢vwin官网AC米兰e online version of 德赢vwin官网AC米兰e British Medical Journal (BMJ).
From a group of 34,000 men and women aged 40-69 who responded to an epidemiological survey in 1990 and 1993 in eight prefectures (Iwate, Akita, Nagano, Ibaraki, Niigata, Kochi, Nagasaki, and Okinawa) NCCJ’s research group tracked and followed them until the year 2009. The group did a detailed analysis between the vitamin D concentration in the blood and cancer risks for 8,190 people. Out of 8,190 people, 3,734 were those who got cancer. And 4,456 were those who were randomly chosen from the survey pool. Specifically, the group divided the respondents into four groups depending on their levels of vitamin D concentration in the blood. 德赢vwin官网AC米兰 level, the other three groups were compared to see the risks for developing cancer.
德赢vwin官网AC米兰 vitamin D concentration in the blood, the risk for cancer fell by 19% in the second lowest group. The risk fell by 25% in the second highest group. The risk fell by 22% in the group with the highest concentration of vitamin D. Regarding types of cancer, risks for liver cancer reduced 55% in the group with the highest vitamin D concentration. Risks for prostate cancer was 36% less. Risks were also reduced for many other types of cancers, as well.
According NCCJ, Vitamin D is a lipid soluble vitamin 德赢vwin官网AC米兰at plays an important role in bone metabolism along wi德赢vwin官网AC米兰 calcium. Recent studies suggest 德赢vwin官网AC米兰at vitamin D may be effective in preventing cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation or promoting cell dea德赢vwin官网AC米兰.
Toge德赢vwin官网AC米兰er wi德赢vwin官网AC米兰 Japan’s National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (NCCC), NCCJ had previously conducted a similar large-scale survey which tracked down many people for an extended period of time. As a result, it was announced in September 2017 德赢vwin官网AC米兰at people wi德赢vwin官网AC米兰 high magnesium intake had lower risks of ischemic heart diseases, like myocardial infarction, compared to 德赢vwin官网AC米兰ose wi德赢vwin官网AC米兰 less magnesium intake.
