Analysis shows declining dietary impacts on colorectal cancer, while obesity and alcohol risks increase in China, suggesting urgent public health actions.

Key Points

This study examines changes in colorectal cancer burden linked to lifestyle factors in China from 1990 to 2021.
Utilized data from Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
Assessed deaths, DALYs, and age-standardized rates for CRC
Analyzed nine lifestyle factors influencing CRC
Employed techniques like Joinpoint regression and ARIMA projections for future trends
Decline in burden from dietary factors, particularly low fiber and low calcium intake
Increase in burden due to processed meat consumption and high BMI
Slight rise in alcohol-related CRC burden
ARIMA projections indicate continued dietary risk declines but rising obesity concern through 2050
