  1. AAPC average annual percentage change, CI confidence interval
  2. a Joinpoint results are not shown for the subgroups of deceased people younger than 30 years, because fewer than five colorectal cancer deaths occurred in each 5-year age group in any year
  3. bJoinpoint analysis was not possible, because there were no colorectal cancer deaths in at least one year during the observed period
  4. cStatistically significant trend
