This study aims to find the association between the family history of diabetes and CRC risk. Methods This large nationwide cohort study leveraged data from several Swedish nationwide registers (follow-up: 1964-2018) to compare the risk using standardized incidence ratio (SIR). Results 11,784,567 individuals (668,348 with DM) were included and followed for up to 54 years (median = 28 years). Those with a personal history of DM had a 1.4-fold increased risk of CRC compared to those without DM (95 % CI: 1.39-1.45). However, the addition of a family history of DM in 1 FDR or ≥ 2 FDRs did not significantly alter the increased risk of early-onset or late-onset CRC. Conclusion Leveraging one of the world's largest family-disease datasets, our cohort study confirmed that personal history of diabetes is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, but we did not find an association between a family history of diabetes and risk of colorectal cancer.enCohort studyColorectal cancerFamily history of diabetesNationwide data600 - Technology::610 - Medicine & healtharticle10.48620/878724025277810.1016/j.diabres.2025.112187
