Colorectal cancer, once considered a disease of older age, is becoming a crisis for younger adults. New research shows one group getting hit the hardest \u2013 those without a college degree.<\/p>\n

A recent study from the American Cancer Society analyzed data from over 101,000 adults aged 25 to 49 who died from colorectal cancer<\/a> between 1994 and 2023.<\/p>\n

While death rates remained stable for college graduates, they climbed significantly for those without a bachelor\u2019s degree, the findings showed.<\/p>\n

WIDESPREAD HABIT MAY RAISE COLORECTAL CANCER RISK MORE THAN YOU THINK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

For young adults with a high school education<\/a> or less, the mortality rate rose from 4.0 to 5.2 per 100,000 people, while the rate for those with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree stayed flat, at approximately 2.7 per 100,000.<\/p>\n

This does not mean that a degree offers some kind of biological protection, researchers cautioned.<\/p>\n

The difference is likely driven by the conditions in which people live and work, which often correlate with education levels, the researchers noted.<\/p>\n

The study suggests that the higher death rates are likely driven by differences in the prevalence of risk factors, including obesity<\/a>, physical inactivity, smoking and diet, which are “known to be elevated among children and young adults with lower [socioeconomic status].”<\/p>\n

Because the study relied on death certificates, researchers couldn’t say exactly why college graduates had better outcomes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Certificates typically list the cause of death, age, race and education level, but they do not include a person\u2019s full medical history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RED FLAGS FOR COLORECTAL CANCER THAT WARRANT SCREENINGS BEFORE 45 YEARS OF AGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Because the researchers didn’t have the patients’ actual medical records, they couldn’t see things like frequency of screenings or treatment options, which would impact survival outcomes.<\/p>\n

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death<\/a> for men under 50 and the second leading cause for women in the same age group, according to recent statistics.<\/p>\n

Because the disease is highly treatable when caught early, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) lowered the recommended screening age from 50 to 45 in 2021.<\/p>\n

Common signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer can include a change in bowel habits<\/a>, such as diarrhea, constipation or narrowing of the stool, that lasts for more than a few days, according to the American Cancer Society.<\/p>\n

Other signs that warrant seeing a doctor include blood in the stool or a persistent feeling of needing to go to the bathroom but being unable to go.<\/p>\n

The research was published in JAMA Oncology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
