Abstract

Background: Several risk factors for development of colorectal adenomas has been studied over the years. But the effect of increased BMI, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic syndrome on the development of colorectal adenoma has been minimally studied. This study describes the influence of increased BMI, sedentary lifestyle & metabolic syndrome on the prevalence of colorectal adenoma. Secondary objective was to determine whether these factors influence the progression of benign adenomas into advanced adenomas or not. Methods: A total of 697 consecutive cases were included. Asymptomatic subjects aged more than 40 years who were undergoing their first colonoscopy were included in the study. Patients with a history of colonic neoplasia, IBD, colonoscopic polypectomy or colectomy were excluded from the study. Details of colonoscopy, polypectomy and histology were recorded. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 22.0. Chi-square (X2) test was done to assess the association of different risk factors with the development of colonic adenomas. Odds ratio (OR) along with its 95% CI was calculated for every individual risk factor under evaluation. A p-value<0.05 was considered as significant. Result: Colonic polyps were detected in 153 (21.95%) subjects. Out of these 153 subjects 81 (11.62%) had histologically proved adenomas. Benign adenomas were detected in 63 (9.03%) cases, whereas advanced adenomas were detected in 18 (2.58%) cases. A BMI of≥30 showed an OR of 2.94 (1.64-4.24) for the development of colorectal adenomas. Presence of metabolic syndrome showed an OR of 1.74 (1.14-2.34) for the development of adenomas. Sedentary lifestyle showed an OR of 1.91 (1.31-2.51) for the development of colorectal adenomas. An age of≥50 years also showed significant effect (OR=1.39) on the development of colonic adenomas. Lastly the presence of increased BMI, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic syndrome was identified as individual risk factors for the progression of adenoma towards advanced adenomas with an OR of 1.67, 2.14 & 2.92 respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that increased BMI, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic syndrome are associated with increased risk of development of colorectal adenomas. Moreover, increasing age (>50 years) also contribute to the increased risk of development of colorectal adenomas. And lastly it has been showed that increased BMI, sedentary lifestyle and metabolic syndrome individually contribute to the increased risk of progression of benign colonic adenomas to a more advanced adenoma.
