The role of risk factors and comorbid pathology in the development of colon polyps in the practice of a physician
The cause of colon polyps is not fully understood. Identification of risk factors and comorbid pathology contributes to the early diagnosis of colon polyps before their malignancy. 322 people were examined on the basis of the Tyumen state medical University and the city polyclinic No. 3 in Tyumen. All patients were divided into two groups: with colon polyps and without colon polyps.a correlation analysis was performed between risk factors, comorbid pathology, and the development of colon polyps in the groups of men and women. A moderate correlation between the risk factor Smoking and the presence of colon polyps was found in males. In women, a moderate correlation was found between obesity and the development of colon polyps, alcohol consumption and the development of colon polyps. A moderate correlation was found between the presence of colon polyps and a burdened hereditary history of colon cancer in both women and men. A moderate correlation was found between the development of colon polyps and erosive gastritis in men and between the development of colon polyps and steatohepatitis in women. A moderate correlation was found in men between the development of colon polyps and arterial hypertension. Conclusions. In the practice of a physician, risk factors associated with the development of colon polyps in men are Smoking and a burdened hereditary history of colon cancer. Risk factors associated with the development of colon polyps in women are obesity, a burdened hereditary history of colon cancer, and alcohol consumption. The risk of developing colon polyps is associated with erosive gastritis and hypertension in men; in women, the risk of developing colon polyps is associated with steatohepatitis.
