British scientists have found that the risk of prostate cancer is associated with the ratio of the length of the fingers. An experiment was conducted, during which investigated the 1,5 thousands of patients with prostate cancer for men and 3,000 voluntary participants without the disease. The study lasted from 1994 and ended last year.
About 50% of the patients a second finger was shorter than the nameless, and 19 percent of her fingers had the same length. In these two categories of prostate cancer risk was equal.
But in people whose second toe is longer than the nameless, the disease was fixed at one third less than the others. And in the age group of sixty years the correlation was brighter: the owners of a longer index finger suffered from prostate cancer by 87% less likely than others.
Before it was found that the ratio of the length of the second and fourth finger points to the influence of testosterone on the development of the fetus in the womb. The more hormone effects on the fetus, the shorter the index finger, if you compare it with the nameless. The threat of prostate cancer is also associated with testosterone.
In addition, there is a correlation between the relative length of fingers and the development of reproductive organs, and this connection is transferred to the genetic level.
