A new study shows an alarming trend in bowel cancer: millennials, or those born between 1980 and 1995, have four times the likelihood of developing rectal tumors originating in the large intestine than those born in the 1950s. Young people also have double the risk of colon tumors, and this is being blamed on poor diets and a lack of exercise.

Experts like the American Cancer Society’s Dr. Rebecca Siegel are calling for educational campaigns and earlier screenings as well as a stronger emphasis on active lifestyles and healthy eating.

Diseases like bowel cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, have traditionally been associated with the elderly, but an affinity for unhealthy food has led to an epidemic in younger people. A shift in the general population’s eating habits toward a diet that is low in fiber and high in processed meats such as sausage and bacon is believed to be one of the main culprits.

A 2014 study predicted that bowel cancer would skyrocket by 90 percent in people aged 20 to 34 by the year 2030. It has gotten so bad that three out of every ten people diagnosed with the disease in this country are younger than 55; this is double the number recorded in 1990. Part of the problem is that this age group is not routinely subjected to the screening that middle-aged adults get, which has cut the rates in that age group.
