abstract = {Nutrition and lifestyle have been long established as risk
factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). Modifiable lifestyle
behaviours bear potential to minimize long-term CRC risk;
however, translation of lifestyle information into
individualized CRC risk assessment has not been implemented.
Lifestyle-based risk models may aid the identification of
high-risk individuals, guide referral to screening and
motivate behaviour change. We therefore developed and
validated a lifestyle-based CRC risk prediction algorithm in
an asymptomatic European population.The model was based on
data from 255,482 participants in the European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study aged 19
to 70 years who were free of cancer at study baseline
(1992-2000) and were followed up to 31 September 2010. The
model was validated in a sample comprising 74,403
participants selected among five EPIC centres. Over a median
follow-up time of 15 years, there were 3645 and 981
colorectal cancer cases in the derivation and validation
samples, respectively. Variable selection algorithms in Cox
proportional hazard regression and random survival forest
(RSF) were used to identify the best predictors among
plausible predictor variables. Measures of discrimination
and calibration were calculated in derivation and validation
samples. To facilitate model communication, a nomogram and a
web-based application were developed.The final selection
model included age, waist circumference, height, smoking,
alcohol consumption, physical activity, vegetables, dairy
products, processed meat, and sugar and confectionary. The
risk score demonstrated good discrimination overall and in
sex-specific models. Harrell's C-index was 0.710 in the
derivation cohort and 0.714 in the validation cohort. The
model was well calibrated and showed strong agreement
between predicted and observed risk. Random survival forest
analysis suggested high model robustness. Beyond age,
lifestyle data led to improved model performance overall
(continuous net reclassification improvement = 0.307 $(95\%$
CI 0.264-0.352)), and especially for young individuals below
45 years (continuous net reclassification improvement =
0.364 $(95\%$ CI 0.084-0.575)).LiFeCRC score based on age
and lifestyle data accurately identifies individuals at risk
for incident colorectal cancer in European populations and
could contribute to improved prevention through motivating
lifestyle change at an individual level.},
