Importance of ideal cardiovascular health metrics in the risk of colorectal cancer among people aged 50 years or older: a UK Biobank cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the correlation between the ideal cardiovascular health metrics (ICVHMs) and the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) among people aged 50 years or older.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

The UK Biobank, a prospective cohort of middle-aged participants recruited between 2006 and 2010.

Participants

The study included 342 226 participants from the UK Biobank aged 50 years or older without prevalent cancer.

Exposure

The ICVHMs consist of four behavioural factors (abstinence from smoking, ideal body mass index (BMI), physical activity at goal and consumption of healthy diet) and three cardiometabolic factors (untreated total cholesterol <200 mg/dL, untreated blood pressure <120/80 mm Hg and untreated fasting plasma glucose <100 m
