I agree with age, yes you can be young or old and get colorectal cancer.
Screening colonoscopies are recommended for people over 50 if no other symptoms exist.
But, you can be much younger and still get colorectal cancer. So if you do have any changes in bowel habits or bleeding get it checked out. Even if your only 25 years old.
There is no age limit for cancer.
Exercise and a healthy diet can contribute to overall well being, but cannot prevent colorectal cancer. Only screening and removal of precancerous polyps can prevent it.
