This conclusion was made by physicians from the United Kingdom and the United States. The study involved women aged 15 to 39 years who belonged to different social strata, reports liza. Ua According to the results of the study, experts found the relationship between high financial position and skin cancer. It turned out that a frequent disease among wealthy Britons and American women is melanoma (skin cancer) and called the disease "a disease of the rich people".

The fact is that in the group of rich women under study, skin cancer appears 70% more often than in less affluent women in the US and England.

And this is explained very simply. The fact is that the well-to-do representatives of the fair sex are more likely to visit different sunny resorts and SPA-procedures, in particular, a solarium, and as is known, the main provoking factor of the occurrence of skin cancer is just ultraviolet.

But on the other hand, wealthy women can afford high-quality medical services, so in most cases melanoma is diagnosed at an early stage and is treatable.
