According to the Daily Mail of the UK on May 1, a recent study showed that men's lack of vitamin D would increase their risk of developing prostate cancer. Scientists believe that according to the close relationship between the two, prostate cancer can be diagnosed by the concentration of vitamin D in the blood. The research expert said: "For most people, vitamin D deficiency is a sign of early prostate adenoma. Although we need further investigation and research, it is not necessary to diagnose and treat prostate cancer with vitamin D content."
The study surveyed more than 600 men from Chicago, USA, and collected relevant data from them. These respondents have dangerous prostate cancer pathogenic factors, for example, the content of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the blood is higher than the normal value, or they have had the disease in their family history, and their vitamin D is lower than the normal level. According to the research data, vitamin D deficiency has a great relationship with prostate cancer. Even after excluding the influence of obesity, smoking and family history diseases, the relationship is still very close.
The study also found that under the same condition of vitamin D deficiency, Americans living in the European continent have a 3.66 times higher risk of prostate cancer than normal people. Americans living on the African continent are 4.22 times more likely to develop prostate cancer. Black Americans who are seriously deficient in vitamin D also have twice the risk of prostate cancer than normal people.
For this phenomenon, American experts said: "Vitamin D deficiency is more common and serious among people with black skin, so this is one of the reasons why black Americans are more likely to suffer from prostate cancer. Our research also shows that vitamin D deficiency is one of the culprits that lead to black Americans suffering from prostate cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to check the vitamin D content in the blood at least once a year. If the vitamin D concentration in the body is found to be lower than the normal value, the doctor They can adjust their diet and other treatment methods to restore their concentration to normal. "
