The results of conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the history of intestinal diseases, psychic trauma, eating of more protein and fat, unhealthy eating habit, deficiency of fruits were risk factors of colorectal cancer; and the odds ratio were 2.86, 8.67, 1.64, 2.70, 1.48 respectively.
