Colon cancer in a low-risk population

JL Lyon and AW Sorenson

Data are presented on colon mortality in Utah. For the years 1950 to 1969, the state population had 34% fewer deaths from colon cancer than the average United States population. Colon cancer incidence was also studied for the years 1966 to 1970, both for the state and for a large subgroup (Mormons) who abstain from tobacco and alcohol for religious reasons; the colon cancer incidence of Mormons was 37% below the United States average, and that of non-Mormons was 18% below the United States average. A preliminary dietary survey found little difference in meat, fat, and fiber consumption between the population of Utah and that of the United States as a whole.
