“…The detection rate of CRD in this study (2.3%) is similar to that in Japanese and emigrant subjects from 1950 to 2001 [3], which was lower than previously reported -10% in Western developed countries [4] and much lower than the rate of autopsy-detected CRD (22.9%) in the West [5]. The reason for this might be related to regional factors, dietary composition, consultation time, and diagnostic capability of endoscopy practitioners [6].…”

Aim: To analyze the epidemiological features of colorectal diverticulum (CRD) in China. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed CRD patients in 8 tertiary hospitals located in 5 regions of China from 2000 to 2016. The detection rates, number and distribution, demographic information, concomitant disorders, and their associations were investigated. Results: Of 3,446,118 cases, 7,964 (2.3%) were CRD with a mean age of 56 years (11–92 years). The detection rate increased yearly and with increasing age. Males had a higher detection rate than females (3.0 vs. 1.47%, p < 0.01) and 1.8-times higher increase rate. The detection rate increased with age; however, females of > 60 years had a 2.8-times increasing rate than males. CRD occurred most frequently in the right-side colon, followed by rectum. Multiple diverticula were common in males and increased with age, with a 3-times higher increase rate than single lesion. Single-segment CRD occurred more frequently in males than in females (80.1 vs. 76.4%, p < 0.01). Concurred colon polyps were seen in 51.05% cases. Conclusion: CRD detection rates increased annually and with age, particularly in senior females in China. Multiple diverticula were common in males and increased with age. CRD was predominant in the right-side colon. Polyps are the most common comorbidity associated with CRD.

“…Although, these results are similar to ours, these investigations did not utilize epidemiologic necropsy methodology (excluding cases with premortem suspicion of colorectal neoplasia), and the data was not standardized to the general population. Additional autopsy studies exist (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) with estimates of prevalence in young adults from 3.9% to 35.7%. These investigations studied far fewer subjects, lacked exclusion criteria as mentioned above, and did not standardize the data.…”

“…Na Tabela 4 vemos que 541 pacientes, 42,1% da amostra, tiveram neoplasia, constituída por 250 (19%) com CCR e 291 (23%) portadores de adenoma. A presença de adenoma nesta faixa etária é semelhante a descrita na literatura 15,16,17,18,19 Na Tabela 3 vemos o perfil de nossa casuística, exemplificado na curva de Gauss, onde se percebe que os nossos obesos se encontravam fora da faixa de obesidade mórbida e de super-obesos, caracterizados respectivamente por terem IMC > que 40 e 50 kg/(m2). Este fato se explica por não haver nos dois hospitais onde fizemos o estudo setor especializado em cirurgia bariátrica.…”

INTRODUÇÃOObesidade está descrita como associada ao aumento no risco do câncer colorretal CCR e do adenoma Ad, sendo a prevalência mais nítida no sexo masculino.1,2,3,4,5 Questiona-se no entanto, como fator mais importante, não a obesidade em si, quantificada pelo índice de massa corpórea IMC, mas a presença da obesidade visceral, melhor identificada pela distribuição andróide da gordura, podendo ser indiretamente estudada pela medida da circunferência abdominal ou melhor ainda, pela razão cintura quadril RCQ. 6,7,8,9,10,11,12 O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar estas duas variáveis como fator de risco no desenvolvimento do CCR/Ad em nosso meio. PACIENTES E MÉTODODe janeiro a dezembro de 2008 foram realizadas 1287 colonoscopias totais em duas instituições médicas, tendo os pacientes idade mínima de 50 anos e IMC e RCQ calculados. Foram excluídos do estudo, portadores de doença hepática e ou renal crônica, doença inflamatória intestinal, adenomatose familiar FAP, CCR não associado a polipose HNPCC, síndrome de Lynch. Foram considerados obesos os portadores de IMC>30 kg/m(2). O IMC foi avaliado em kg/m(2) e a RCQ medida em centímetros. O Teste t de Student foi usado para estudo da média e desvio padrão e qui-quadrado para comparar números absolutos. A significância estatística foi considerada quando P< 0,05.
