The Rise of Colorectal Cancer in Teenagers: A Growing Health Concern

Dec 2, 2024 by Mansi Praharaj 0 Comments #Concern, #health

by Dr Chandrasekhar Prasad Singh, Consultant- Medical Oncology, HCG Abdur Razzaque Hospital, Ranchi

Traditionally viewed as a condition affecting older adults, colorectal cancer is now on the rise among younger populations, with a troubling increase in cases among teenagers and young adults. This unexpected trend has sparked a wave of research and concern in the medical community, as experts seek to understand the factors contributing to the rising rates of colorectal cancer among youth.

The Alarming Statistics

Recent studies reveal a significant rise in colorectal cancer cases in individuals under the age of 50, with adolescents and young adults experiencing a particularly sharp increase. Research notes that nearly 12% of colorectal cancer diagnoses are now among those under 50—a figure that has nearly doubled in the last few decades. More concerning is that this shift includes teenagers, who were once considered to be at minimal risk for the disease.

Understanding the Symptoms Often Overlooked

One of the challenges with early detection among young people is that colorectal cancer symptoms can be subtle and are often mistaken for less serious gastrointestinal issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or hemorrhoids. Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent abdominal pain or cramping
  • Blood in the stool
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

For teenagers, symptoms like these may be dismissed as dietary or stress-related, leading to delays in diagnosis.

Possible Factors Behind the Rise

While research is ongoing, certain lifestyle and genetic factors may be contributing to this increase:

  • Dietary Changes: High intake of processed foods and low fiber diets can affect gut health.
  • Sedentary Lifestyle: Reduced physical activity may raise cancer risk.
  • Gut Microbiome Imbalance: Alterations in gut bacteria, possibly due to diet and antibiotics, may increase susceptibility.
  • Genetics: Conditions like Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are significant risk factors, even without a family history.

Bridging the Gap: Awareness and Early Detection

With these cases on the rise, spreading awareness among young people, parents, and healthcare providers becomes crucial. Teens and young adults experiencing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms should feel empowered to discuss their concerns with a medical professional without delay. Healthcare providers, too, need to adjust their approach and consider colorectal cancer as a possible diagnosis when evaluating younger patients with gastrointestinal complaints.

Prevention Steps for Teens and Young Adults

There are lifestyle modifications that can help lower the risk of colorectal cancer in young individuals:

  1. Adopt a Healthy Diet: A diet high in fiber, fruits, vegetables and low in processed foods and red meat can support digestive health and may reduce cancer risk.
  2. Increase Physical Activity: Regular exercise not only improves overall health but also reduces cancer risk. Even moderate activity, like walking, can be beneficial.
  3. Limit Alcohol and Avoid Tobacco: Both are known risk factors for various cancers, including colorectal cancer. Reducing or avoiding these substances can contribute to a lower risk.
  4. Stay Informed About Family History: Knowing family medical history can help young people understand their own risk factors and seek genetic counseling or early screening if necessary.

Majority of Drivers in Germany in Favor of Health Checks

Apr 23, 2024 by Sujata Muguda 0 Comments #CTO, #Germany, #Gilles Mabire, #health, #political level

Hanover, Germany, April 23, 2024. Almost two-thirds of drivers in Germany believe regular health checks are a sensible way to determine whether people are fit to drive. This is the result of a representative survey of some 2,000 German citizens conducted by market research and data analytics firm YouGov on behalf of Continental from March 11 to 13, 2024. The findings also show that the older the respondents, the less likely they are to agree with this statement. While 75 percent of 18 to 29-year-olds are in favor of this proposal, only around half of those over 70 are of the same opinion. The contrast between generations is even more evident when it comes to whether driving licenses for people aged 70 and over should be valid for a limited amount of time and renewed only if the person passes a health check. 73 percent of over 70s oppose this idea, while more than two-thirds of those under 50 are in favor. Around half (49 percent) of those surveyed who think health checks make sense are in favor of more frequent check-ups of at least once every two years. Across all age groups, it is clear that the increasing use of modern advanced driver assistance systems is making drivers feel safer behind the wheel.

Continental IAA Mobility 2021

“The results show that advanced driver assistance systems support drivers on the road, thus living up to their name. As advanced driver assistance systems become more readily available in vehicles, their acceptance is also growing and will only continue to do so,” says Gilles Mabire, chief technology officer (CTO) for Automotive at Continental.

 Safety and independence while driving a primary focus for most people
According to the survey results, safety and independence while driving are particularly important factors for a large majority of people – particularly those aged 70 and over. With this demographic group set to increase as a share of Germany’s total population over the coming years, the risks to which senior drivers are exposed will also rise, as will the risks they pose to other road users as a result of potential age-related impairment. According to the Federal Statistical Office, around 37 percent of road fatalities in Germany in 2022 were over the age of 65, despite this age group accounting for only around 22 percent of the total population. In addition, statistics show that serious accidents in particular are more likely to be caused by older drivers.

 Demographic trend prompts discussions at political level
In response to this demographic trend, the EU Commission sees a need for action. In 2023, it proposed that every five years driving license holders over the age of 70 should have to either submit a self-assessment on their fitness to drive or undergo medical checks to confirm they are still fit enough to drive. The proposal initially even specified that all drivers in the EU should have to reapply for their driving license every 15 years and undergo medical tests or submit a self- assessment form. In-depth discussions were held on the matter, and the EU ultimately decided against introducing mandatory EU-wide medical checks in February 2024. The EU member states may decide for themselves, however, whether and which health checks make sense in their own countries. In Germany, the federal government does not impose mandatory testing. In other European countries, however, health checks are a requirement. In Spain, for example, drivers aged 65 and over must have their driving license renewed every five years and provide medical evidence of their fitness to drive. Legislators in Denmark require a medical certificate in order to renew the driving license of those aged 75 and over. Upon reaching the age of 80, a new application must be submitted on a yearly basis. Driving licenses in Italy are generally only valid for a certain period of time. From the age of 50, they must be renewed every five years, from 70 every three years and from 80 every two years. Holders must also undergo a medical examination in order to have their license extended.

 Technological advancements in new cars make people feel safer
Advanced driver assistance systems are widely recognized as helping to make driving safer and are becoming increasingly important. Some will even become mandatory for new cars in the EU from July 2024. According to the majority of survey respondents, advanced driver assistance systems make people feel safer while driving. Across all age groups, the reversing camera is valued most highly on average (at 40 percent), followed by turn assist and emergency brake assist systems (both at 32 percent), adaptive cruise control (31 percent), parking assist (29 percent), as well as lane keeping assist and intelligent headlamp control (both at 28 percent). What is striking here is that drivers of newer cars (built in 2021 or later) in Germany are more likely to see advanced driver assistance systems as a helpful aid for driving safety than drivers of older cars (built in 2020 or before). Approval rates range from 65 to 44 percent for the reversing camera, for example, from 46 to 33 percent for the turn assist system and from 53 to 31 percent for the emergency brake assist system (in each case for cars built in 2021 or later and for cars built between 2011 and 2020, respectively). This suggests that use of advanced driver assistance systems has a positive effect on appreciation for them, since they are more widely available and therefore more likely to be used in newer car models. In short: the newer the vehicle, the more likely its driver is to agree with advanced driver assistance systems’ impact on safety. “We see these findings as affirmation of our work and as a mandate to further develop and, where necessary, build trust in the latest safety technologies. Continental is committed to technological advancements in order to develop solutions for increasingly safe, smart and sustainable mobility,” emphasizes Mabire.

 Accident statistics show that the advanced driver assistance systems preferred by older drivers offer an appropriate means of reducing the risk of accidents among this group, since they counteract causes which, according to the Federal Statistical Office, often lead to accidents among seniors at the wheel – such as driver error when turning, reversing, starting, stopping or maintaining distance. The features these systems should have in order to increase their acceptance and the feeling of safety among drivers is an important question for developers. In Continental’s survey, a clear majority across all age groups – and especially respondents with newer cars built in 2021 or later – said they personally feel safer in modern cars thanks to advanced driver assistance systems’ ease of use as well as the range of features they offer. Both younger age groups and those over the age of 70 said that ease of use was important to them for advanced driver assistance systems, but also for air conditioning and infotainment systems.

 Key factors that cause uncertainty among drivers
The survey results also reveal that across all age groups, the factors that cause the most uncertainty among drivers are bad weather conditions (50 percent), other road users (49 percent) and poor visibility (48 percent). The 70+ age group is also more worried than average (42 percent) about driving at night – a possible indication of seniors’ often deteriorating vision.

 Continental is one of the leading providers of advanced driver assistance systems
The safety of all road users is Continental’s top priority in the development and industrialization of new technologies. “Against the backdrop of demographic changes, we recognize a need to combine personal mobility with a high standard of safety into old age,” explains CTO Gilles Mabire. Advanced driver assistance systems play an increasingly important role here. Continental has decades of experience in this area and is actively contributing its technological expertise for when certain advanced driver assistance systems become mandatory for new cars in the EU from July 7. Sensors, software and intelligent connectivity serve as the basis for advanced driver assistance systems. Continental began developing these systems more than 20 years ago and has since put millions of these technologies on the road. Today, the company is one of the leading automotive suppliers in the field. In 2023 alone, Continental produced more than 39 million cameras and radar and lidar sensors for assisted and automated driving functions.

How to keep up with heathy habits while travelling

Nov 21, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #health, #heathy habits while travelling, #travel

Being a healthy and fit person is a virtue that requires continuous efforts and determination be it following a strict diet or indulging in regular exercise with activities like yoga, running, cycling or spending time regularly in the gym. Nonetheless, when we go for a vacation, we tend to take it easy which is perfectly fine as long as it does not result in us gaining more pounds than expected. More and more people these days like to take an extended vacation as they want to explore everything that their destination has to offer. This is why when they return, they are usually following a stricter diet or a more strenuous regime which becomes extremely hard to follow and can often result in an outburst.

We bring you simple tips to keep up with healthy habits while travelling: –

1)Learn about your destination

When we say learn about your destination, we do not mean just know about the hotel you will be staying in. Use the power of the internet to research what type of food is served usually and which food items are easily available in the region. If you are on a strict diet you will want to know about the grocery store so that you can stock up on food that you have to consume. Moreover, a simple call to the hotel receptionist, the travel desk or restaurant manager will tell you important things which will make you better prepared.

Make sure you include these questions in your list:

• Learn about eating out options and hotel foodservice
• Ask about the use of ingredients that you are allergic to
• Ask if your room has a refrigerator for storing food that you plan on carrying or buying from a nearby grocery store?
• Do you have a grocery store near your accommodation?
• Is there an easily accessible gym to work out especially if your vacation is long?

2)Don’t Overeat

Overeating is a serious problem for people who do not watch the amount of food they are consuming and indulge heavily. We get that you are in a new place and want to try the delicacies it has to offer. However, it is important to make simple decisions and see how your body reacts to it which will tell you what amount to eat of the things that are making you salivate.

Keep in mind these things as they will stop you from overeating:

• Don’t go buffet crazy, a lot of times people eat for two when they see a buffet is included in room stay
• Drinks a lot of water
• Substitute snacking on chocolate and chips with nuts, fruits and yogurts

3)Incorporate exercise in your travel

When we travel a lot of physical work is done that involves luggage or as it is popularly known by the term ‘luggage labour’. We need to pack and unpack our things as well as carry the suitcase from home to airport/train station and then to the hotel. This can take the will to walk through the city you are staying in out of you with you.

Remember these points to incorporate exercise in your travel:

• Ditch the carry bags you plan on taking with you on your outing and travel light with just phone and wallet
• Check out all the outdoor activities you can do like trekking, hiking, boating, swimming among others as per your destination
• Instead of bus or taxi use a cycle available in the city to travel to places

4)Take enough rest

As surprising as it may sound a lot of people try to let go of their routine completely while on vacation by staying up late at night as well as partying till dawn. While this may seem a welcome change at first it can easily spoil your vacation as well as your body. This is because when you wake up when nearly half the day is gone you prefer staying in and are only able to see a few destinations before you head back home with a few extra pounds.

Remember to:

• Sleep on time
• Plan your itinerary
• Begin each morning with an active mindset
