Women who drink more than three cups of coffee a day are about 60 percent less likely to develop uterine cancer than women who drink almost no coffee, according to an epidemiological study released Monday by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

Obese, diabetic and hormone-active women are thought to be more likely to develop uterine cancer, Kyodo news agency reported. "Coffee lowers blood sugar levels and regulates hormone activity in women, so it may reduce risk," said Taiichi Shimadzu, a researcher at the National Cancer Center.

The survey, which began in 1990, targeted about 54,000 women aged 40 to 69 in nine prefectures, including Iwate and Osaka, with the longest follow-up period of 15 years. during this period, 117 cases of uterine cancer were diagnosed.

At the start of the study, the women were asked about their coffee drinking habits and divided into four groups according to how much they drank. The relationship between coffee consumption and uterine cancer was studied. Compared with those who drank coffee less than two days a week, those who drank one to two cups of coffee a day had a 40 percent lower risk of uterine cancer, and those who drank more than three cups a day had a 60 percent lower risk.
