After reading this article some women might think about changing their lifestyle or maybe just their location if they want to be less at risk of breast cancer. In a study made by Cancer Research UK, the researchers found out that women who live in urban areas or in the city are more at risk of breast cancer. Why? City life is more stressful and women are more physically active, thus, these can make women more prone to the disease. These two factors can double the chances of getting the disease in their older years.

The odds of obtaining the disease is even more increased with the fact that women in the city do not set aside time for regular breast screening. So it is very important for women, especially those in the city to undergo breast examination on a prescribed timetable.

Aside from women who live in the city, those who drink, don’t breastfeed, eat fatty diet, ingest hormone and has history of the disease are the ones more prone to the disease.
