A new study links obesity and great height to ovarian cancer. I wish I could do something about my height - did you know that centenarians are invariably TINY? - but certainly those affected may be even more motivated now to do something about their weight.
Obesity increased the risk of dying of ovarian cancer by 25% over women of normal weight.
They also found that very tall women were more likely to die of this cancer. Women who were 5 foot 9 inches and taller were 41% more likely to die of ovarian cancer than shorter women.
