The incidence of colorectal cancer in Asian countries is increasing. The change to a more westernized diet is known to be related to these increases, and there are reports on the relationship between meat consumption and colorectal cancer in Japan. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary change and colorectal cancer in Korea and Japan.
The data of meat and cereal consumption in Japan (1950-2002) and Korea (1970-2003), and the data of colorectal cancer incidence in Japan (1975-1998) and Korea (1992-2002) were investigated with a 20-year difference between the two countries.
We found that the changes in meat and cereal consumption, as well as the increases in the incidence of colon and rectal cancer, were similar between those two countries with a 20-year difference.
These similarities between Korea and Japan could be helpful for predicting future colorectal cancer incidences for Korea and other Asian countries.
亚洲国家结直肠癌的发病率正在上升。已知向更西化饮食的转变与这些发病率的上升有关,并且在日本也有关于肉类消费与结直肠癌之间关系的报道。本研究的目的是调查韩国和日本饮食变化与结直肠癌之间的关系。
研究了日本(1950 - 2002年)和韩国(1970 - 2003年)的肉类和谷物消费数据,以及日本(1975 - 1998年)和韩国(1992 - 2002年)的结直肠癌发病率数据,两国数据相差20年。
我们发现,两国在相差20年的情况下,肉类和谷物消费的变化以及结肠癌和直肠癌发病率的上升情况相似。
韩国和日本之间的这些相似之处可能有助于预测韩国及其他亚洲国家未来的结直肠癌发病率。
