Abstract	BACKGROUND: Lower GI endoscopy, such as colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, is thought to have a substantial impact on colorectal cancer incidence and mortality through detection and removal of precancerous lesions and early cancers. We aimed to review prevalence estimates of history of colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy in the general population and to analyze recent trends. METHODS: A systematic review of the medical literature, including MEDLINE (1966 to August 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to August 2008), was undertaken, supplemented by searches of the European Health Interview & Health Examination Surveys database and bibliographies. Detailed age-specific and sex-specific prevalence estimates from the United States were obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys 2002, 2004, and 2006. RESULTS: The search yielded 55 studies that met our inclusion criteria. The majority of the reports (43) originated from the United States. Other countries of origin included Australia (2), Austria (2), Canada (5), France (1), Germany (1), and Greece (1). Estimates from the United States were generally increasing over time up to 56% (2006) for lifetime use of colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy in people aged 50 years and older. Analysis of national survey data showed higher prevalences among men aged 55 years and older than for women of the same age. Prevalences were highest for people aged 70 to 79 years. CONCLUSION: 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.
