Survey indicates rising bowel tumour prevalence in Libya, highlighting dietary routine and smoking links.
This work considers as a part of food related malignancy studies. The present study offers an indication of degree of bowel malignancy prevalence in Ttipoli and Misurata, Libya from 2004 to 2014 to spot the part of wrong dietary routine and living way in developing bowel malignancy. 265 males and 203 females aged (25-85) years were diagnosed with bowel malignancy. A Face-to-face survey study was performed on 100 Libyan patients (51 men and 49 women) from 1 January to 30 June 2015. The data proves that incidence of bowel tumour is increasing over the time. Men are almost 13.2 % more likely than women to develop bowel tumour. There was a statistically significant association between males and females for getting bowel tumour (P= 0.039). This indicates that bowel tumour can affect both gender, but men are more likely to develop bowel malignancy than women. The results showed that the disease mostly occurs in men above 50 years old and in women above 30 years old. A six months survey study gets that 24% cases had family history. Women had family history to develop tumour than men. Moreover, results provide that more than half of patients are likely to drink 1 litter of water per day. Also, men tend to drink more water and consume red meat than women. All patients did not do exercise and had irregular sleeping time and all interviewed men were frequently smokers. Well nutrition with sports may encourage health strength of patients with bowel tumour.
