Cancer, poverty studied
%
§

United Press International
BOSTON — Men who live in
neighborhoods where poverty,
overcrowding, unemployment,
divorce and fragmented fami
lies are common run a high risk
of dying of cancer, according to
a study published Thursday.
Socio-economic conditions
do not necessaiily cause cancer
in men, however, and have little
or no effect on women, resear
chers said in the New England
Journal of Medicine.
“I urge caution because I do
not wish the observations to be
construed as an argument that
such socio-demographic condi
tions as poverty, crowded hous
ing, divorce, and fragmented
families cause or directly exacer
bate cancer in men,” said resear
cher C. David Jenkins of the
University of Texas Medical
Branch at Galveston.
He said the study of death
certificates in Massachusetts
may point out the important
role “social connectedness and
social supports” plays in surviv
al, which can be prolonged by a
regular life style.
Fragmented family struc
tures may not be conducive to
healthful patterns, he said.
“It could be that sharing one’s
life with other people increases
the chances of maintaining reg
ular patterns of eating and
sleeping and of obtaining health
care in a timely fashion,” Jenkins
said.
The high-risk living areas for
men were distinguished by high
percentages of families below
the poverty level, widespread
unemployment or underem
ployment and many large hous
ing complexes of rented units
averaging more than 1.5 per
sons per room.
He said few married couples
lived in those high-risk areas,
which had a disproportionately
large percentage of divorced or
separated men and women,
widows and single people.
“The composition of a neigh
borhood with regard to marital
status also has a strong associa
tion with deaths from cancer in
men,” Jenkins said.
Two “economically deprived”
areas of Boston, where death
rates were high overall, had can
cer-related mortality rates in
men 37 percent higher than the
state average.
In women, mortality rates
from cancer were equal to or be
low state-wide averages.
“These findings also call to
mind the recent publications
underscoring the links between
stress, life disruption, and sup-
presssion of the immune re
sponse,” Jenkins said.
Studies have linked a sup
pressed immune system to neo
plasms, new and unusual
growths that include tumors.
Stomach and intestinal cancer
were most frequently associated
with the variables, Jenkins said.
Lung cancer and cancer of the
trachea and bronchus also had a
high correlation.
Jenkins said he had “guarded
feelings of excitement” about
the findings because they indi
cate new directions for research.
Programs to find early signs
of cancer in men could be estaby
lished in high-risk neighbor-'-
hoods, he said.
“The findings may also sug-.^
gest psycho-social processes that-
may provide new insights into*
the ways neoplasms develop andl
become lethal,” he said.
