摘要

背景。在全球范围内,结直肠癌(CRC)的发病率不断上升,是导致死亡的主要原因之一,包括约旦在内的发展中国家的死亡率明显更高。了解病因、不健康的生活方式和饮食模式对防治疾病至关重要。因此,本研究旨在调查约旦年轻人对 CRC 相关风险因素、做法的了解和认识水平,以及所研究变量之间可能存在的关联。研究方法采用在线自我报告的方式,对人体测量学、对 CRC 及其相关风险因素的知识、认识、饮食和生活习惯进行评估,从而开展了一项横断面观察研究。研究结果对 795 名约旦大学生进行的研究发现,93.8% 为约旦人,73.0% 为女性,年龄在 18-24 岁之间,单身。大多数参与者来自医学院和理学院(69.4%)。调查发现,绝大多数人(约 84%)对儿童癌症及其风险因素有很好的了解和认识,但这并没有反映在他们的饮食习惯中。男女生在体育锻炼、吸烟、蔬菜摄入量以及红肉和加工肉类的食用量方面存在明显差异。学术研究专业对知识和认识有很大影响。结论研究表明,虽然约旦年轻大学生对 CRC 及其风险因素有很好的了解和认识,但这些水平并没有反映在他们的饮食行为和预防 CRC 的食物选择上,这突出表明需要制定国家计划来改善这些做法,尤其是在年轻人群中。

Knowledge, Awareness, and Practices toward Colorectal Cancer and Its Dietary and Lifestyle-Related Risk Factors among Jordanian University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background. Globally, colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising, and it is a leading cause of mortality, with greater death rates pronounced in developing countries, including Jordan. Understanding knowledge and awareness of etiologic factors, unhealthy lifestyles, and dietary patterns is crucial for combating ailments. Hence, this study is aimed at investigating the level of knowledge and awareness of CRC-related risk factors, practices, and possible associations of studied variables among young Jordanians. Methodology. A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted using an online self-reported assessment of anthropometrics, knowledge, awareness, and dietary and lifestyle practices toward CRC and its related risk factors. Results. A study of 795 Jordanian university students found that 93.8% were Jordanians, 73.0% were female, aged 18-24, and single. Most participants were from medical and science schools (69.4%). The vast majority (about 84%) were found to have good knowledge and awareness of CRC and its risk factors, but this was not reflected in their dietary practices. There are significant differences in physical activity, smoking, vegetable consumption, and serving sizes of red meat and processed meats between the sexes. Academic study specialties significantly impact knowledge and awareness. Conclusion. The study reveals that while young Jordanian university students have good knowledge and awareness about CRC and its risk factors, these levels are not reflected in their dietary behaviors and food choices for CRC prevention, highlighting the need for national programs to improve these practices, particularly in the younger population.
