Abstract
AIM: To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of colorectal polyps, and to explore the correlation of lifestyles and dietary habits with risk of colorectal polyps in Qingdao.
METHODS: An investigation of general information, lifestyles, and dietary habits was carried out in 1 331 patients with colorectal polyps using a uniform questionnaire. Of all patients investigated, 1 164 patients who had complete data were included for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The total detection rate of colorectal polyps was 26.67%. Males were more likely to suffer from colorectal polyps than females. Most patients with colorectal polyps were 50 to 69 years old. In males, cigarette smokers or alcohol users had a higher risk of polyps and adenomas (P < 0.01). Overweight people and obese people accounted for 72.17% and 20.53%, respectively. People whose diet was characterized by imbalanced nutrition, high animal protein, lack of vegetables and fruits, or insufficient Laminaria japonica and nori had a higher risk of polyps. People who were obese or ate a high-animal-protein diet were more likely to suffer from polyps and adenomas (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Cigarette smokers, alcohol users, obese people, and those eating a high-animal-protein diet are more likely to suffer from colorectal polyps and adenomas.
