This study aims to investigate the correlation between the occurrence of colon polyps and carotid IMT by age. This study checked the correlation between the occurrence of colon polyps and carotid IMT, grouping patients who had a colonoscopy and carotid ultrasonography simultaneously by age based on cross-tabulation. As a result of the analysis, by age, the older the patients with metabolic syndrome, the higher the correlation between the occurrence of colon polyps and carotid IMT became. Also, when carotid IMT was more than 1.1mm, the incidence of polyps was high. In conclusion, there was a high correlation of the occurrence rate of colon polyps with carotid ultrasonography and colonoscopy, and the older the patient and the thicker the carotid IMT, the higher the correlation became.
