Survey finds 67% of U.S. adults aged 50-75 met colorectal cancer screening recommendations

A 2018 observational survey report assessed colorectal cancer screening adherence among U.S. adults aged 50-75 years. The study measured the percentage who met U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations for screening. The specific survey methodology, sample size, and any intervention or comparator were not reported.

The primary finding was that 67.0% of this population met the colorectal cancer screening recommendations. A secondary outcome showed that 60.6% reported having a colonoscopy within the past 10 years. No effect sizes, confidence intervals, or absolute numbers were provided for these percentages.

Safety and tolerability data were not reported. Key study limitations were also not reported, which restricts interpretation. The practice relevance of these findings is uncertain, as the data represent a single point in time from an observational survey without comparative analysis.
