things that increase risk. Other risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer
include:
Racial and ethnic backgrounds (African Americans and Jews of Eastern European
descent [Ashkenazi Jews] have highest incidence)
Diet high in red and processed meats
Physical inactivity, obesity
Type 2 diabetes
Family history of colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease
