Researchers analyzed data from international studies that included 1,000 esophageal cancer patients, 2,000 Barrett’s esophagus patients and thousands of people without either condition.
Men shorter than 5 feet 7 inches and women shorter than 5 feet 2 were about twice as likely to have Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer than men who were taller than 6 feet and women who were taller than 5 feet 5.
