ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is a common cancer; generally, adults aged ≥ 50 years are screened using stool occult blood tests and colonoscopy. However, colorectal adenoma and cancer have been found in patients under the aged of 50, and studies on characteristics and risk factors in young patients are lacking. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of colorectal adenoma and cancer in young adults aged under 50 years. We retrospectively analyzed 570 individuals aged under 50 years who underwent colonoscopy at the Haeundae Paik Hospital, Korea, from January to June 2018. Logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors for colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer. The prevalence of colorectal adenoma in group of 19-29 years was 3.2% (1 of 31), 30-39 years was 13.8% (30 of 217) and in the group of 40-49 years was 21.1% (68 of 322) (P = .009). In multivariable analysis, age over 45 years (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.941; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.187-3.172; P = .008) and male sex (adjusted OR, 1.711; 95% CI, 1.044-2.806; P = .033) were independent risk factors for colorectal neoplasia including cancer. The prevalence of colorectal adenoma increases as the age increased in young adults under 50 years of age, especially after the age of 45 years, the risk of colorectal neoplasia increases; hence, early screening should be considered before the age of 50 years.
