Obesity is a major predictor of colorectal cancer, which has become more common since the 1990s. Physical exercise and fibre intake may also be independently associated with lower rates of colorectal cancer as well.

Might want to figure out what major dietary changes happened in the country starting in the 1990s.

Its a relative measurement.
The bowel cancer rate has fallen in over 65s because of the increase in screening.

I don’t think your interpretation is correct. I think that comparison was of data for the two cohorts when they were the same age.
The study, yet to be peer-reviewed, found 28,265 cases of early-onset bowel cancer over the 30 years studied. An estimated 4,347 additional cases were attributable to the rising rates of the disease.
Early-onset cases, however, are increasing by up to 8% per year, the study found.

Yeah ham when I grew up was the processed stuff formed into logs. Devon? Lovely on a sandwich with tomato sauce but I have no idea what was in it!
