Abstract
The study explores the link between accelerated biological aging and early-onset colorectal adenocarcinoma risk.
- Young-onset colorectal cancer is diagnosed in individuals before age 50.
- Biological age may provide a more accurate reflection of disease susceptibility compared to chronological age.
- Accelerated biological aging is associated with an increased risk of early-onset colorectal adenocarcinoma.
- Improved risk stratification for young-onset colorectal cancer may be achieved through understanding biological aging.
