Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Colorectal Neoplasia in Asymptomatic Young Adults (20–39 Years Old)

The incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing among persons 50 years old or younger. However, data on the epidemiology of young-onset colorectal neoplasia (CRN) are limited. Although some studies have investigated the epidemiology of CRN in persons younger than 50 years, most have focused on persons 40 years or older. We evaluated the prevalence of and risk factors for CRN in adults younger than 40 years.
