Abstract
Data from outside the United States were extremely limited. Prevalence estimates from the United States indicate that a considerable and increasing proportion of the population at risk has had at least 1 colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy in their lives, although differences between age and sex groups persist. Prevalences of previous colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy need to be taken into account in the interpretation of time trends in, and variation across, populations of colorectal cancer incidence and mortality.
