Taller men have a higher risk of dying from prostate cancer than shorter men do, a study released on Thursday claims.
The study, from BMC Medicine, said taller men have a greater risk of getting an aggressive form of the disease because they have more cells in their body. According to researchers, every 10 centimeters in a person’s height increased the possibility of an individual developing the aggressive prostate cancer by 21 percent, and death by 17 percent.
