Association Between Allostatic Load and Incident Colorectal Cancer—A Prospective Study in a Multiethnic Asian Population

Key Points

This study investigates the relationship between allostatic load and the risk of developing colorectal cancer in a diverse Asian population.
Prospective study design implemented in a multiethnic Asian population
Assessment of allostatic load as a potential biomarker
Analysis focused on incident cases of colorectal cancer
Findings support allostatic load as a potential biomarker for identifying increased colorectal cancer risk
Results align with previous Western population studies
Implications suggest integration of allostatic load in health strategies for earlier detection

Abstract

These findings are consistent with prior research in Western populations and highlight AL as a potential biomarker for identifying individuals at increased CRC risk. Incorporating AL into population health strategies may support earlier detection and targeted prevention in Asian settings.
