[单项选择]People from large families have an increased risk of stomach cancer, suggests a study that followed more than 7,000 Japanese-American men for 28 years.
The study concluded that family size had a major influence on the development of stomach cancer linked to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (幽门螺杆菌), and that younger siblings (兄弟，姐妹，同胞，同属) from large families were especially prone to the most common form of stomach cancer.
H. pylori lives in the mucous (黏液的) layer of the stomach and is associated with peptic ulcers (消化器官溃疡) and stomach cancer. It’s estimated that half of the world’s population carries H. pylori in the stomach. It can be transmitted orally from person to person or through contact with human feces (粪便).
The study found that men who carried certain strains of H. pylori in their stomachs and had seven or more siblings had more than twice the risk of developing stomach cancer, compared to men with the same H. pylori strains who had one to three siblings.
A. Family size may determine stomach-cancer risk.
B. Family size may move stomach-cancer risk.
C. The study may follow more than 7,000 Japanese-American men for 28 years.
