Burden and Trends of Diet-Related Colorectal Cancer in OECD Countries: Systematic Analysis Based on Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2021 with Projections to 2050.

ABSTRACT: Background: An unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). This study assessed the diet-related CRC burden from 1990 to 2021 in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations and estimated the burden until 2050. Methods: Data for OECD countries on diet-related CRC disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study. The estimated annual percent change (EAPC) was calculated to analyse the CRC burden attributable to dietary factors. A generalised additive model with a negative binomial distribution was used to predict the future burden of CRC attributable to dietary factors from 2021 to 2050. Results: In 2021, the age-standardised percentages of diet-related CRC DALYs a
