Frequent alcohol consumption increases cancer risk in older women
Date:9/7/2007

says Henderson, the papers senior author. However, these findings are preliminary and must be investigated further before any recommendations about alcohol consumption can be made.

The study also found that the association of alcohol intake and endometrial cancer is stronger among lean women than among overweight or obese postmenopausal women.

Our data suggest that lean women may be more sensitive to modest elevations in hormone levels resulting from alcohol drinking than obese women who already have high levels of estrogen and therefore mask alcohol as an independent risk factor, concludes Setiawan. Again, this is all preliminary and more studies with sufficient numbers of heavy drinkers are needed to corroborate our finding.
