Is takeout culture associated with rising colorectal cancer in young Chinese adults? An ecological analysis of GBD and CHNS data
From 2010 to 2021, colorectal cancer incidence rose among Chinese adults aged 20-39, despite declining burdens of nutritional deficiencies and non-neoplastic digestive diseases. This trend parallels shifts in dietary behavior and the rapid growth of the takeout industry. These findings call for further research into causal links and platform-based public health interventions promoting healthier diets.
