Prolonged breastfeeding to prevent breast cancer

Cancer Research UK institutions Belal said at a press conference that women breastfeeding their children longer, prevention is better protected. If the mother breast-feeding for each child to extend the period of 6 months, can reduce the risk of suffering from 6-6. 3%. One of the common diseases of women. The researchers found that, at home the past, people suffering from this disease, early puberty, late menopause, and no children, is the possibility of women increase the risk factor. Scientists have suspected since 1743 from the children and nursing women may have a protective effect on the prevention, then a study shows that compared with other women, nuns were the proportion is much higher.

Another study will be the number of children and women for the first time when the mother's age and linked to, but the latest research suggests a more comprehensive manner the role of breast-feeding. Belal and her colleagues analyzed the 30 countries suffering from the 5,000 women and 100,000 healthy volunteer women's studies. The researchers estimate that breast-feeding can reduce the risk of one-year risk of 4.3%. These findings help explain why the proportion of women in developing countries suffer from low, where a woman has 6-7 children, mother breast-feeding for each child over 2 years, while in industrialized countries, a women's only 2-3 months baby. Developed countries, breast fed babies eat only 2-3 months. Tend not to breast feed their children's mother in the United States accounted for half of the nearly 25% in Spain, Scandinavia accounted for 10%.

UK National Fertility Fund to promote breast-feeding their babies, it is felt that the study has clearly demonstrated to do so for mothers and babies are beneficial. The fund's executive Phipps said, "We want to know the extension of breast-feeding women with better protection role, will encourage more attention to the babies of mothers to breast feed." Although scientists are still not sure that children and breast-feeding is how to reduce the risk of suffering, but they believe that the new findings may be clarified for the prevention and treatment of the road.
