Australia is the country with the highest incidence of skin cancer in the world, but many AustraliansDidn't realizeAt this point, 10 out of 4 of them have never had a skin examination.

Why did Australia become the "darling" of skin cancer?

A data from the World Health Organization shows that according to its ranking of cancer cases in its 185 member states, there will be nearly960 million peopleDied of various cancers; andAustralia and New ZealandThe risk of cancer in the area is actuallyHighest in the worldof.

According to the latest data from World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF): Australia’s cancer incidence isNo. XNUMX in the world(10 people will suffer from cancer per 468 people). In addition, Australia’s cancer incidence is actually the 10th highest in the Netherlands.1.4 times(For every 10 people, 334.1 people will suffer from cancer).

After reading the above global cancer ranking list, everyone will be surprised to find that the higher the cancer incidence, the higher the quality of lifeHigher, Medical conditionsBetter,Average lifetimeThe longer.

So what is the reason?

age

Published by the World Health OrganizationLife expectancyAs far as we can find, in the countries with the highest incidence of cancer, most of the average life expectancy is inOver 80 years old. Australia is one of the countries with a relatively high life expectancy, with women reaching 84.8 years old and men reaching 81 years old.

According to relevant surveys, regardless of men and women, whenAfter 55 years of age, The incidence of cancer began to rise exponentially. So, the air qualityThe better developed countries.The higher the incidence of cancer; Because generally speaking, thereLife expectancy will be longersome. In some backward countries in Africa, the average life expectancy is low, although the incidence is low, the medical level is also very limited, and the survival rate is very low.

lifestyle

In terms of lifestyle, because some Australians don’tHealthy lifestyleInduced related cancers. Take Australia's high incidence of skin cancer as an example: This is related to Australians who like to go out to sunbatheNo sun protection,preference日光浴And so on.

Besides, Australians loveOutdoor dinner, BBQ is the first choice for everyone. And this kind of foodExtremely unhealthy, Easily produced in the process of marinating and grillingCarcinogenWill also causeRelated cancerThe production.

But everyone alsoDon't worry too much

Even though Australians have a high risk of cancer

Skin cancer prevention work guide

I have to mention that skin cancerPreventive workBut the same cannot be less, the top priority isSun protection.Many male friends think sun protection isGirls only doIt would be strange for boys to sunscreen.

The editor is here to remind you male friends that for your own health, this idea mustCorrect in timeOh.

1. Covered by clothes.Even if it is cloudy,70% UVIt will still be projected on the ground. Ultraviolet rays will penetrate the surface of the skin and destroy deep skin cells, triggering the growth of cancer cells. Therefore, when walking outdoors during the day, you should wear a hat, long-sleeved clothes, etc.

2. Apply sunscreen.It is best to apply sunscreen to all exposed skin. Before going out20 to 30 minutesIt is useful to apply sunscreen. Don't think that there is no ultraviolet light in cloudy days and under the shade. The intensity of ultraviolet light is only reduced by 30%. Sunscreen achieves the purpose of sun protection by absorbing or reflecting pure ultraviolet rays. Generally, it is marked with a sun protection factor (SPF). The higher the factor, the better the effect.

3. Healthy living and eating habits.Vitamin C and E can help resist sun exposure. In addition, tea and coffee contain a kind ofPolyphenolsThe anti-cancer substances can inhibit the activity of free radicals. Therefore, drinking tea or coffee can also predict skin cancer. Exercising more and eating less smoked or grilled foods can also reduce the risk of cancer.

Editor's conclusion:

Although Australia has the highest cancer rate in the world, this data is also due to its long average life expectancy. In addition, the relevant medical departments in Australia have also been committed to researching skin cancer drugs, and there are currently outstanding results, so everyone No need to worry too much.

However, when enjoying the unique Australian style of summer play, for your own health, you must do all the sun protection work. This is also the most basic guarantee.

I hope everyone will have a pleasant summer.
