TOKYO (AFP) - Women who drink a lot of coffee may have less risk of developing cancer of the uterus, a Japanese study said Monday.

The study led by Japan's health ministry monitored some 54,000 women aged 40 to 69 over about 15 years, during which time 117 women developed cancer in the womb, according to the medical team.

The researchers at Japan's National Cancer Center divided the women into four groups by the amount of coffee they drank.

They found the group of women who drank more than three cups of coffee every day were more than 60 percent less likely to develop uterine cancer than those who had coffee fewer than two times a week, the study said.

"Coffee may have effects in lowering insulin levels, possibly curbing the risks of developing womb cancer," the study said.

The medical team also studied the effects of drinking green tea, but did not find any link to uterine cancer.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control, uterine cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. 咖啡可降低子宫癌患病风险 :日本的研究

在日本癌症中心的研究者将妇女根据他们服用的咖啡分为四组

他们发现与一个礼拜服用两次的妇女相比,一天服用咖啡超过三杯的妇女可使子宫癌患病率降低60%。

他们说“咖啡也许可以降低胰岛素水平,也许降低了子宫癌的发病率”

医疗团队也研究了饮绿茶的结果,但并没有发现与子宫癌有什么联系。
