The new study suggests that the number commonly used may indicate early signs of cancer

How much you are spending on taxes can affect your cancer risk, one study suggests.

Researchers found a link between states with high tax rates and a decrease in cancer -induced deaths.

For any supplement of $ 1000 generated through tax income per person each year, the rate of cancer death decreased by up to four percent.

High tax states like New York, Connecticut and New Jersey had some of the lowest levels of mortality in the country, while those with less income tax such as Mississippi, Tennesses and Kentucky were among the worst.

Researchers say the reason is that high tax states are more likely to provide examination and other tests to capture cancer in the early stages.

For each supplement of $ 1000 in tax revenue, cancer control levels generally increased up to two percent, the study found.

Researchers – from Ohio State University, Emory University in Atlanta and Verona University in Italy – said better results for countries that pay the most taxes can be because those taxes are financing control methods such as mobile test sites.

However, there were strangers. Utah, for example, had the lowest cancer mortality of every US state and was also one of the lowest tax states. The lower rate of UTAH cancer can be partly due to a lower spread of tobacco and alcohol, both shown to cause cancer, and other lifestyle choices in the very religious state.

Researchers writes: ‘Drafting high tax -based tax systems and progressive policies can represent an aspect of a multifactorial approach to improve cancer -related results, thus mitigating continued health care inequalities for Cancer in SH.BA’

The study, published Friday in Jama Network Open, combined through data from the US Census Bureau and the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy to calculate the average tax income per person in each state and how many norms have changed over time.

Tax revenues were calculated from 1997 to 2019.

The researchers also evaluated cancer mortality data from 1991 to 2021 using CDC databases.

The rate of cancer control was estimated from 2020 to 2022.

The average rate of cancer mortality for 2021 was 174 deaths per 100,000 white Americans.

However, in the non-Hispanic black population, the mortality rate increased by 206 per 100,000.

Kentucky had the highest level of cancer mortality at 205 per 100,000 people, while Utah’s level was the lowest to 133 deaths per 100,000 people.

During the 23 years, the average national state tax income per person a year was $ 4,432.

New York had the highest tax income per person with $ 8,400 with Connecticut and New Jersey following $ 7,100 and $ 6.800, respectively.

All three states had a cancer mortality rate of 160 to 168 per 100,000 people, below the national average.

The lowest tax revenues were found in Alabama ($ 3,300), tenses ($ 3,400) and Mississippi ($ 3,500), South Carolina ($ 3,500) and Idaho ($ 3,500).

Mississippi had the second highest rate of cancer mortality at 201 per 100,000 people. Tennesses and South Carolina were 193 and 184 per 100,000 people respectively.

The above map shows the average rate of cancer mortality per state. Kentucky had the highest, which was closely followed by Mississippi

The above map indicates the degree of examination of cancer. Rhode Island consistently had the highest levels of review while Alaska and Arizona had the lowest

Researchers found that for any tax increase of $ 1000, cancer mortality for all cancers decreased by two percent on average. The landing was even higher, three percent, for white individuals.

For cancers with recommended examination such as colon and breast cancer, any tax increase of $ 1000 per capita was accompanied by a four percent reduction in mortality rate. This increased to five percent for white populations.

Researchers said this may be due to the increase in tax amounts that the financing of state health initiatives and review measures.

These may include mobile test sites, subsidizing the cost of transportation in a review test, or providing financial incentives for review.

Utah, however, had the lowest level of cancer mortality, but was also ranked among the lower taxes to $ 3,800 per year.

While researchers did not provide an explanation for this, the lower risk of death may be due to less prevalence of ordinary risk factors.

In 2022, the latest available data, UTAH had the lowest level of smoking in the country at seven percent.

Smoking is responsible for about nine in 10 cases of lung cancer, which causes more deaths of any other cancer in the SH.BA

Moreover, 12 percent of adults in Utah Binge drink, which is considered four or more drinks in a landing for women and five for men. This is the lowest percentage in the US

Alcohol has shown that it increases hormone levels like estrogen, a major propulsion of breast cancer. It also damages cell DNA, leading cells to grow out of control, increasing the risk of becoming cancerous.

The lack of smokers and beverages may be due to the high percentage of Utah Mormon, a religious group that avoids both habits. More than half of utahns identify as Mormon.

Researchers writes: ‘These proof -based review programs represent successful state -level initiatives and should highlight how the division of the income government can progress health care and cancer prevention goals.’

However, there were no obvious differences between tax growth and death from cancer to the minority population. This suggests that the increased review measures have not reached minority groups.

There were some research restrictions, including data showing a link between taxes and cancer than a direct cause.
