Hairdressers, seamstresses and others: top 5 female professions with an increased risk of developing cancer

  • 4:28 PM

Cancer can appear in anyone. However, some occupations have a particularly high risk of developing cancer. Scientists have compiled a list of potentially dangerous jobs for women, and it includes some rather non-obvious professions.

The occurrence of oncology is influenced by many factors: from genetics and general health to lifestyle and ecology. Experts believe that the potential development of malignant neoplasms is also influenced by a person’s professional activity. For example, some women have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer due to inactivity and regular exposure to chemicals.

This conclusion was made by researchers from the University of Montreal in Canada. Scientists checked the health status of 1370 women aged 18-79. 491 participants were already undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer and 879 of the remaining women were in perfect health.

It turned out that among women working in the beauty industry, the risk of developing cancer is three times higher than among all other study participants. Hairdressers, cosmetologists, manicurists and other craftsmen constantly work with chemicals that are harmful to health.

  • In second place in the “cancer ranking” are female builders, who are also quite often in contact with chemicals, but work less often in this field.

  • Third place went to the broadest professional stratum – office workers. Women who work in the office lead sedentary lives and tend to be overweight. All this negatively affects the health of the reproductive system and increases the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

  • On the fourth line were workers in the garment industry. Sedentary work is also responsible for their problems. Although, of course, there is more activity in their activities than in office work

  • The sales area concludes the “cancer side”. Women’s health can be negatively affected by various factors – sedentary work, heavy lifting and irregular working hours, which is often unavoidable in this field.
