Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the associations of metabolic risk factors and cigarette smoking with colorectal adenoma risk among Taiwanese men. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted on Taiwanese men who visited our institution for health examination. From January 2005 to April 2006, 1,542 male subjects who underwent complete colonoscopy during health examinations were enrolled. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the modified National Cholesterol Education Program adult treatment panel III definition for South Asian and Chinese populations. Metabolic risk factors, body mass index, cigarette smoking habit, and the frequency of metabolic syndrome were compared between individuals with and without colorectal adenoma. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between independent risk factors and colorectal adenoma. The effects of metabolic syndrome and cigarette smoking on pathological features and size of colorectal adenoma were also examined. Results: There were 279 (18.1%) subjects with pathologically proven colorectal adenoma. The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome in men was 36.2% in the adenoma group and 21.6% in the control group. In multivariate analysis, old age ( ≥50 years), central obesity, current smoking habit, and metabolic syndrome were associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenoma in men. Male subjects with metabolic syndrome who were current smokers were more likely to develop colorectal adenoma than nonsmokers (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.01-2.84). Furthermore, current smokers with metabolic syndrome had a significantly increased risk of colorectal adenoma compared to the risk of current smokers without metabolic syndrome (p= 0.049). Metabolic syndrome was also associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenoma larger than 1 cm in diameter in the adenoma group (p= 0.01). Conclusion: Male subjects with central obesity, metabolic syndrome, or a current smoking habit have an increased risk of developing colorectal adenoma, and the risk is significantly increased in current smokers with metabolic syndrome. We recommend that an increased emphasis on smoking prevention and reducing the prevalence of central obesity and metabolic syndrome will reduce the risk of colorectal adenoma among Taiwanese men. |
