TIL: There is a scientific study involving 2537 men and 3185 women which tested correlation between number of partners and most chronic illnesses. Cancer was the only one statistically significant. 10+ partners means you are more likely to get cancer and had having 0-1 has the least.

Nice find!

Its:

Men with 10 or more partners are 1.69 times more likely to report a cancer diagnosis compared to men with 0-1 partners.

Women with 10 or more partners are 1.91 times more likely to report a cancer diagnosis and 1.64 times more likely to report long standing illness compared to women with 0-1 partners.
