Detection rate and risk factors of colorectal adenoma in high-altitude population: A cross-sectional study
Key Points
Colorectal adenoma prevalence is significantly lower among the high-altitude population, suggesting unique environmental factors.
Data shows advanced age and male sex are independent risk factors for colorectal adenoma.
Cross-sectional study conducted in the Xizang Autonomous Region highlights significant demographic contrasts.
Findings imply distinct health implications for populations residing at high altitudes, necessitating targeted awareness.
Abstract
The prevalence of CRA in the high-altitude population was significantly lower. Advanced age and male sex remain independent risk factors for CRA in Xizang Autonomous Region.
