Aging is a contributing factor to develop colorectal adenomas and polyps, when attempts were made to extend the starting age to 75 years to 85 years, the gain in years was small compared to the risks of screening people in this age interval, which is why the USPSTF recommends against routine screening for this adults aged (76-85) years. However, there may be some other considerations that support colorectal cancer screening in certain individuals. Moreover, the USPSTF recommends against screening for adults older than age 85 years, because the complex co-morbidities they have will prevent achieving desired outcomes through screening, considering that the benefit of screening is usually not achieved until at least 7 years after the first screening was done (USPSTF,
