ATTN Girls: Big Breasts, Increase Diabetes Risk?


According to the said news, girls with big breasts are more prone to diabetes.

The decade-long study to find the link between big breasts and diabetes development among nurses in the US shows that those with bigger breasts at the age of 20 are at a higher risk of developing the disease in later years.

Joel Ray, professor of medicine at the University of Toronto and a clinician-scientist at the local St Michael's Hospital, said this was "the broad conclusion" of his research team on the basis on this study.

"Our findings are based on data from the Nurses Health Study II project in 14 American states. In a nutshell, 92,102 nurses were studied for link between their breast size and their chances of developing diabetes by the age of 35. The bigger their breasts are at the age of 20, the bigger their chances of developing diabetes," Ray said.


At least one of the factors (big breasts) and not the ultimate factors. ethnicity, smoking, lifestyle, environment, etc still plays a big role.

This was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
