Cancer, a large group of diseases, occurs when uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells attacks and destroys nearby tissues, often spread to different parts of the body. The level of smoking, the level of radon, the degree of obesity, the level of stress, the consumption of alcohol, the population aged 65 and over, the UV radiation index, the water hardness, the air pollution are key factors that contribute to cancer in the US. Its data collection included new cases and death (2024), population (2024). The composite score consists of excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and obesity, radon levels, including the stress level index.
Top 10 US states with the highest risk factors of cancer:
- South Dakota is the highest risk condition for cancer, mainly due to the high level of excessive alcohol intake (24.4%) and elevated radon levels (9.6%)
2. West virginia is placed second, showing the highest level of smoking (26%) and the degree of obesity (40.6%) among all states.
3. Pennsylvania is the third US state with the highest risk of cancer, driven by obesity (33.3%) and stress levels (33%)
4. Ohio is the fourth state in this, with multiple smoking (21.1%) of measure than alcohol (20.7%) and obesity (37.7%) remains extreme.
5. Kentucky ranks fifth with a score of 82.61, which points to the second highest smoking rate (24.6%) and the degree of obesity (40.3%). Regardless of the lower older population (17.8%), the risk factors of the state lifestyle build a significant risk of cancer.
6. Maine, with 78.2 scores and more alcohol consumption (22.5%), has the highest percentage of the population aged 65+ (23%) of all analyzed countries. It has a measure of obesity 31.9%.
7. Iowa is the seventh US state probably susceptible to cancer. Among the highest states, the second highest level of alcohol consumption (24.6%) with a high degree of obesity (36.4%) and high water hardness scores (70) has the second highest level of alcohol consumption (24.6%).
8. Montana stands eighth, with the third highest excessive alcohol level (24.3%) and records a relatively high water hardness score (70).
9. Wisconsin ranks ninth with a score of 68.03 and the highest excessive alcohol level (25.2%) of all studied states. It shows high levels of stress (38) and creates significant risk factors of psychosocial cancer.
10. New Hampshire recorded the highest stress index (47), although it had the lowest obesity (30.6%) and the peace of smoking (15.7%) among the best rated states. It has a slight consumption of alcohol (20.8%), which provides potential for cancer.
“Nuances Connection between Environmental Factors and Health Results”
The Massmi spokesman said there was a common belief that the choice of lifestyle, such as smoking and drink, contributes to the risk of cancer; Recent research, however, emphasizes that the “nuanced connection between environmental and health results” quotes the example of “radon exposure, silent but strong carcinogen, can significantly change the risk of cancer over time, especially if it is composed by other stressors such as air pollution.
