Increased risk of colorectal cancer in young males with higher cardiovascular risk: A nationwide population-based cohort study

Figure 3 Colorectal cancer incidence rate by cardiovascular risk score subdivided by age. In both age groups, colorectal cancer (CRC) risk tended to increase with higher cardiovascular risk scores, with the younger age group showing a higher risk of CRC than the older age group (P for interaction < 0.001). In males, there was a consistent trend of increasing CRC risk, with higher cardiovascular risk scores observed in both younger and older age groups.
