“…In recent years, many African countries are experiencing urbanization with adoption of Western diet associated with low residue. There is increasing availability of modern diagnostic investigations tools (e.g., colonoscopy) for accurate detection rate of colorectal diseases [7‒35]. Since there are common risk factors shared by colonic diverticulosis and colorectal neoplasia, there may also be a similar epidemiological trend of rising prevalence of diverticular disease as noted for colorectal cancer in some countries in Africa [9, 18, 19, 36‒38].…”
