摘要：
Colorectal cancer is common in White population in UK, while rare among South Asians living in UK. The main aim of this study was to find out probable reasons for very low prevalence of colorectal cancer among South Asians living in UK than White population. PubMed was searched by using key words and 2,153 articles were found and reviewed to find out related information. Websites of WHO, Office of National Statistics UK, and Cancer Research UK were also searched for relevant information. Diet and lifestyle are important factors for low colorectal prevalence among South Asians in UK. Vegetable and fruit use, physical activity, alcohol abstention or low usage, less tobacco use, and fecal material time in large intestine are important factors for low colorectal cancer development. It was concluded that South Asians have very low colorectal cancer prevalence in the UK than White population, which may be related to their diet, dietary habit, and lifestyle.
