Are people who love to eat meat more likely to develop colorectal cancer? Huaxi experts: There are also these 4 high-risk habits!

Don't go out for a good meal at night

I feel sorry for "suffering like this"

For example, some garlic crayfish

Unlocking the deadly habit: rectal cancer

1. Colorectal cancer is most likely to "follow" this group of people

According to the "Guidelines for Screening, Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer in China (2020, Beijing)", "The 5-year relative survival rate of patients with early colorectal cancer can reach 90%, while the rate of patients with stage IV distant metastasis is only 14% ." Among them, only 37% of patients are diagnosed in the early stage, so the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer is particularly important. In particular, friends with the following 5 lifestyle habits need to pay special attention:

① People who don’t like to eat high-fiber foods

After all, young people nowadays are too lazy to cook for themselves. Every day they share how cheap this restaurant is and how delicious that takeaway is!

Anyway, high fat, high protein, high calories, low fiber, all are eaten by oneself. And it is precisely this kind of food that is one of the risk factors of colorectal cancer.

Many studies have found that:

● High dietary fiber is inversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer and adenoma;

● For every 10g/d increase in dietary fiber intake, the risk of colorectal cancer is significantly reduced by 9%.

Why don't you fix it quickly?

② Excessive meat-eating

I told you to eat meat, but I didn’t tell you to eat this kind of meat every day!

● Long-term intake of red meat or processed meat is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

For every 50g increase in daily processed meat intake, the risk of colorectal cancer increased by 16%;

● For every 100g increase in daily red meat intake, the risk of colorectal cancer increases by 12%.

③ Smoking/drinking enthusiasts

There is a linear positive correlation between the risk of colorectal cancer and alcohol consumption.

The odds ratio for colorectal cancer in heavy drinkers (more than 36g per day) is 1.25

Here, I would like to add some information on the conversion of alcohol volume: "Ethanol (alcohol) content (g) = amount of alcohol (ml) × alcohol content/degree (%) × 0.8 (alcohol specific gravity)" For example, 1 liang of 50-degree liquor: 50ml × 0.5 × 0.8 ≈ 20g Anyway, if you can avoid drinking, then don't drink. If you have to drink, then drink less.

Of course, I know some friends who always drink and smoke, and they are like "living gods" in the world! Forget about this kind of people, you may really not know how harmful smoking is!

● Smoking is a risk factor for almost all types of colorectal polyps;

● Smokers have a 1.18 times higher risk of colorectal cancer than non-smokers;

● Every 10 cigarettes/day increase in smoking can increase the risk of colorectal cancer by 7.8%;

● Every 10-year increase in smoking history increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 4.4%.

This is purely "burning" one's own life!

④ The thicker the waist, the greater the risk of cancer

For every 10cm increase in waist circumference, the risk of colorectal cancer increases by 2%, and for every 5kg/m² increase in BMI, the risk of colorectal adenoma increases by about 5%.

⑤ The lazier you are, the less healthy you are

Reasonable physical exercise can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. The minimum weekly exercise recommended by WHO can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by about 10%.

If you have the above habits, change yourself as soon as possible! It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up!

2. Colonoscopy

If you don't know whether you should get checked, you can check whether you are in the high-risk group according to the following conditions:

👉 Positive fecal occult blood;

👉 I have a history of cancer;

👉 History of radiotherapy for abdominal and pelvic tumors;

👉 A first-degree relative has a history of colorectal cancer;

👉 I have a history of colorectal adenoma (polyps);

👉 Family history of colorectal cancer, familial history of adenomatous polyposis;

👉 Those who have 8-10 years of long-term uncured inflammatory bowel disease and changes in bowel habits;

👉 Meet any 2 of the following:

Chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation, mucus and blood in stool, chronic appendicitis or history of appendectomy, chronic cholecystitis or history of cholecystectomy, long-term mental depression, etc.

For people at general risk who do not meet any of the above criteria, it is recommended to start colorectal cancer risk assessment at the age of 40.

If you have already gone for a checkup, you can make a preliminary judgment by comparing the case report~

Generally speaking: except for hyperplastic polyps smaller than 5mm located in the rectum and sigmoid colon, which can be followed up endoscopically , endoscopic resection is recommended for other colon polyps!
