Increased risk of colorectal cancer in young males with higher cardiovascular risk: A nationwide population-based cohort study
Increased CV risk scores were significantly associated with higher CRC risk, especially among males, younger populations, and non-statin users. Thus, males with a higher CV risk score, even at a younger age, are recommended to control their risk factors and undergo individualized CRC screening.
