Core Tip
Core tip: In this article, we used the years of life lost (YLL), average years of life lost (AYLL) and mortality to measure the severity of colorectal cancer (CRC) death. The YLL and AYLL can directly reflect the severity of CRC to life lost. Some demographic characteristics such as marital status, occupation, education level and area of residence, which may be risk factors for CRC, are explored. As a result of this study, living in urban areas, having a higher education level and unemployment are risk factors for CRC mortality.
