What are the Implications of Occupational and Lifestyle Factors?
Occupational and lifestyle factors can also contribute to the gender disparities in cancer incidence. Men are more likely to work in industries that expose them to carcinogens, such as construction and manufacturing. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and poor diet can increase cancer risk. Women, on the other hand, may have different risk factors, such as reproductive history and use of hormone replacement therapy.
