UPI reports the analysis, released Thursday, says surviving cancer 'ages' a person's heart by up to nine years. Based on their overall health, adult male cancer survivors were found to have hearts that appeared 8 1/2 years older than their actual age. As for women, females who survived the disease were found to have hearts that appeared to be 6 1/2 years older.
