Higher Latitudes (less UVB) = Higher Cancer RatesImage Breast Cancer

Breast cancer rates were higher in countries with higher latitude across 107 countries (P<0.0001).

Also, higher UVB irradiance was associated with lower breast cancer risk (P=0.04) after adjusting for cloud cover and other factors such as alcohol consumption, cigarette use and obesity.
