Cancer is a very serious disease that doesn’t discriminate. It threatens everyone without distinction. Small children and the elderly suffer from cancer. However, there are of course certain groups that are at higher risk. It was previously believed that cancer most threatened middle-aged women. Recent surveys have shown that this is not the case. We have compiled a list of 5 diseases that threaten women more than cancer. Read which they are.
Higher age and overweight are risk factors
The first two diseases we will mention are diabetes and chronic liver disease. Diabetes can be classified as a lifestyle disease. Unfortunately, the number of diabetics is constantly increasing. An unhealthy lifestyle, sedentary work and long-term stress largely contribute to this negative development. In old age diabetes can cause kidney problems. This leads to issues with urine leakage. Diabetics also often feel tired and thirsty.
Chronic liver disease is very serious because the liver is the organ that breaks down toxins from our body. Poor liver function therefore directly threatens our life. The condition of our liver is also influenced by our lifestyle. Ideally, these problems should be avoided entirely. Prevention is very important, so we recommend limiting alcohol, quitting smoking and changing your lifestyle. Overweight is an aggravating factor in both cases.
Respiratory diseases are also dangerous
These are not rare diseases. Even common respiratory illnesses can be dangerous.
Specifically, which ones are we talking about:
- Flu – you might say, it’s nothing. But the flu is not just some “little cold.” The flu can seriously trouble even healthy individuals. It is risky for small children, people with weakened immunity and the elderly. This common illness can also have unpleasant consequences and health complications
- Pneumonia – untreated pneumonia can end in death
- Chronic respiratory disease – if you suffer from any of these conditions, you should pay increased attention to your health. If you smoke, you should stop immediately
Middle-aged women should not neglect their health. Do not underestimate health problems and attend all recommended preventive check-ups.
