A Swedish study of five million people appears to support the theory that height and cancer risk are linked.
The study found that taller people had a slightly higher risk of breast cancer and skin cancer, among other cancers.
Its results found that for every extra 10cm (4in) of height, when fully grown, the risk of developing cancer increased by 18% in women and 11% in men.
