Louisville, KY (prHWY.com) October 25, 2012 - Louisville, Kentucky - Maintaining a healthy lifestyle gives older women diagnosed with cancer a higher likelihood of survival, according to a new study conducted by University of Minnesota researchers. Older female cancer patients who remain physically active, maintain a healthy weight and eat a balanced diet have a nearly 40% lower risk for death compared with women who do not follow these recommendations. A factor not included in the study, but essential for fighting cancer, is access to good Kentucky health insurance, and subsequently, all of the necessary medical treatments.

For the study, researchers examined how a group of 2,080 women diagnosed with cancer followed the 2007 World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research guidelines for body weight, physical activity and diet. Nearly 500 of the study participants died between 2004 and 2009, with around 200 of the deaths due to cancer. Death from any cause was 37% lower for women who followed the lifestyle guidelines closely than for those who failed to do so.

When dealing with cancer, it is crucial to have Kentucky health insurance - both for preventive measures and treatment once diagnosed. Neace Lukens understands this, and offers free quotes on a variety of affordable, comprehensive Kentucky health insurance plans through its partnerships with top rated carriers.
