BackgroundColorectal cancer incidence in the UK and other high-income countries has been increasing rapidly among young adults. This is the first analysis of colorectal cancer incidence trends by sub-site and socioeconomic deprivation in young adults in a European country.MethodsWe examined age-specific national trends in colorectal cancer incidence among all adults (20–99 years) diagnosed during 1971–2014, using Joinpoint regression to analyse data from the population-based cancer registry for England. We fitted a generalised linear model to the incidence rates, with a maximum of two knots. We present the annual percentage change in incidence rates in up to three successive calendar periods, by sex, age, deprivation and anatomical sub-site.ResultsAnnual incidence rates among the youngest adults (20–39 years) fell slightly between 1971 and the early 1990s, but increased rapidly from then onwards. Incidence Rates (IR) among adults 20–29 years rose from 0.8 per 100,000 in 1993 to 2.8 per 100,000 in 2014, an average annual increase of 8%. An annual increase of 8.1% was observed for adults aged 30–39 years during 2005–2014. Among the two youngest age groups (20–39 years), the average annual increase for the right colon was 5.2% between 1991 and 2010, rising to 19.4% per year between 2010 (IR = 1.2) and 2014 (IR = 2.5). The large increase in incidence rates for cancers of the right colon since 2010 were more marked among the most affluent young adults. Smaller but substantial increases were observed for cancers of the left colon and rectum. Incidence rates in those aged 50 years and older remained stable or decreased over the same periods.ConclusionsDespite the overall stabilising trend of colorectal cancer incidence in England, incidence rates have increased rapidly among young adults (aged 20–39 years). Changes in the prevalence of obesity and other risk factors may have affected the young population but more research is needed on the cause of the observed birth cohort effect. Extension of mass screening may not be justifiable due to the low number of newly diagnosed cases but clinicians should be alert to this trend.

ObjectiveWe investigated whether there are differences in cancer incidence by geographical area of origin in North-eastern Italy.MethodsWe selected all incident cases recorded in the Veneto Tumour Registry in the period 2015-2019. Subjects were classified, based on the country of birth, in six geographical areas of origin (Italy, Highly Developed Countries-HDC, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, South-central America). Age-standardized incidence rates and incidence rate ratio (IRR) were calculated, for all cancer sites and for colorectal, liver, breast and cervical cancer separately.ResultsWe recorded 159,486 all-site cancer cases; 5.2% cases occurred in subjects born outside Italy, the majority from High Migratory Pressure Countries (HMPC) (74.3%). Incidence rates were significantly lower in subjects born in HMPC in both sexes. Immigrants, in particular born in Asia and Africa, showed lower rates of all site cancer incidence. The lowest IRR for colorectal cancer was observed in males from South-Central America (IRR 0.19, 95%CI 0.09-0.44) and in females from Asia (IRR 0.32, 95%CI 0.18-0.70). The IRR of breast cancer appeared significantly lower than Italian natives in all female populations, except for those coming from HDC. Females from Eastern Europe showed a higher IRR for cervical cancer (IRR 2.02, 95%CI 1.57-2.61).ConclusionCancer incidence was found lower in subjects born outside Italy, with differences in incidence patterns depending on geographical area of origin and the cancer type in question. Further studies, focused on the country of birth of the immigrant population, would help to identify specific risk factors influencing cancer incidence.

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health issue, with rising incidence and mortality rates. Dietary factors, especially whole grains consumption, are critical in determining CRC risk. Understanding CRC deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to low whole grains diets is important for prevention. The purpose of the study is to investigate temporal and geographic trends in CRC deaths and DALYs attributable to diet low in whole grains at the global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2021.MethodsThe data on CRC burden attributable to diet low in whole grains from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2021 database. We described the CRC burden attributable to diet low in whole grains across various years, genders, age groups (5-year age groups from 25 to 94 years and 95+ years), different Socio-demographic Index (SDI) regions and countries. To illustrate the temporal trends in the burden of CRC, we calculated the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) from 1990 to 2021.ResultsFrom 1990 to 2021, the global number of CRC deaths attributable to diet low in whole grains increased from 101,813 (95% UI: 42,588 to 151,170) to 186,257 (95% UI: 76,127 to 284,803), representing a 82.94% growth. Similarly, the number of DALYs increased from 2,540,867 (95% UI: 1,050,794 to 3,754,416) to 4,327,219 (95% UI: 1,754,865 to 6,578,232), representing a 70.30% growth. However, both the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) exhibited a decline, with an EAPC of −0.82 (95% CI: −0.85 to −0.78) and − 0.84 (95% CI: −0.87 to −0.81), respectively. The disease burden is heavier in high SDI and high-middle SDI regions. However, between 1990 and 2021, the only region where both ASMR and ASDR increased was low-middle SDI, while in all other regions, they showed a declining trend. In 2021, East Asia had the highest number of CRC deaths and DALYs attributable to diet low in whole grains at the regional level, followed by Western Europe and High-income North America. Additionally, the burden is greater among males and the elderly. Between 1990 and 2021, the number of CRC deaths attributable to diet low in whole grains rose by 102.13% among males and by 63.20% among females. Generally, both the global age-specific mortality rate and the DALYs rate tend to increase with age. SDI demonstrates a nonlinear “S”-shaped correlation with both ASMR and ASDR of CRC attributable to diet low in whole grains. In 2021, the EAPC in ASMR of CRC attributable to diet low in whole grains was negatively associated with SDI (R = −0.402, p < 0.001), reaching the highest EAPC at approximately SDI of 0.51 and the lowest at 0.85. Similarly, the correlation between EAPC in ASDR and SDI in 2021 exhibited a similar pattern.ConclusionDespite a decline in the ASMR and ASDR of CRC attributable to diet low in whole grains from 1990 to 2021 globally, the absolute number of cases continues to increase, with a particularly notable burden observed in High-middle and High SDI regions, as well as among males and the elderly population. It is imperative to intensify efforts in CRC prevention and health education, specifically targeting these high-risk groups to raise public awareness and consumption of whole grains. Furthermore, screening initiatives should be intensified among these demographics to address the elevated risk of CRC mortality due to insufficient whole grains consumption.

BackgroundNumerous studies have demonstrated that individuals with low calcium intake are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), and calcium intake exhibits significant global variation. However, a comprehensive analysis of the diet low in calcium-attributable colorectal cancer (DLCACRC) disease burden remains lacking.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the global distribution and temporal trends of DLCACRC from 1990 to 2021, providing evidence to support the development of evidence-based nutrition policies. Methods: Data on deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), mortality rates, and DALYs of DLCACRC between 1990 and 2021 were extracted from the GBD database. Age-standardized data were utilized to facilitate comparisons across regions and countries. Joinpoint regression analysis was conducted to assess temporal patterns in disease burden. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to quantify the rate of change in relevant indicators. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the disease burden and the Social Development Index (SDI).ResultIn 2021, the global age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of DLCACRC reached 1.06 (95% CI: 0.77–1.33), while the age-standardized disability-adjusted life year rate (ASDR) was 24.7 (95% CI: 18.17–31.02). These metrics demonstrated a downward trend, showing 31.3 and 33.3% reductions, respectively, compared to 1990. The most rapid reductions in ASMR and ASDR were occurred during 2004 and 2007, with annual percentage change (APC) of −2.12 (95% CI: −2.80–1.43) and −2.29 (95% CI: −2.92–1.65), respectively. Significant differences in disease burden were observed across countries and regions, with Southeast Asia reporting the highest ASMR and ASDR of DLCACRC. At the national level, Zambia recorded the highest ASMR and ASDR. Women experienced a higher disease burden than men, and the disease burden was positively correlated with age.ConclusionFrom 1990 to 2021, the global disease burden of DLCACRC declined, although substantial regional disparities persist. Governments in these regions should adopt targeted strategies to enhance calcium intake among residents, thereby alleviating the disease burden. Particular attention should be given to women and older adults.
