This score is a rough estimate for reviewing your lifestyle habits. If you have any concerning symptoms, or feel anxious due to your age or family history, do not judge on your own—please consult a medical institution. Making use of your local colorectal cancer screening (such as a fecal occult blood test) is also recommended.
How it works
- This is a reference tool that shows a Low / Medium / High guide to your relative colorectal cancer risk based on lifestyle items such as age, sex, BMI, smoking, drinking, exercise habits, and family history.
- Points are added according to the number of applicable risk factors, and a category is determined. More factors indicate a tendency toward higher risk.
- Drinking, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and diets high in red or processed meat are considered to raise the risk of colorectal cancer.
- This is a simple guide for reviewing lifestyle habits and does not indicate a specific probability of developing the disease.
- Being in a low-risk category does not mean you will not develop colorectal cancer; regular screening (such as a fecal occult blood test) is recommended from age 40 onward.
- This tool is a general lifestyle guide and is not a diagnosis or medical treatment. Always consult a doctor for health-related decisions.
