ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To determine predictors associated with longitudinal changes in CRC prevalence in farm and non-farm rural residents in Saskatchewan, Canada. METHODS Data from the Saskatchewan Rural Health Study were collected from 8,261 individuals nested within 4,624 households at baseline survey in 2010 and 4,867 individuals (2,797 households) at follow-up survey in 2014. The study sample consists of 5,599 individuals (baseline) and 3,933 at (follow-up) (≥50 years). RESULTS The prevalence of CRC increased over time among rural farm (baseline: 0.8%; follow-up: 1.3%, p < 0.05) and non-farm (baseline: 1.4%; follow-up: 2.0%, p > 0.05) residents. Longitudinal predictors of CRC prevalence were: Quadrant, Location of home, Mother ever had cancer, age, BMI, Sex, Radiation, Natural gas. CONCLUSIONS Longitudinal changes in prevalence of CRC among farm and non-farm residents appear to depend on a complex combination of individual and contextual factors.
