Please suggest. When you get older beyond 60, and you have the habit of exerting pressure while passing motion whether this would increase chances of rectum cancer or colon cancer?

Per say, exerting pressure while passing motion does not lead to Colon or Rectal cancer. However most of the times, constipation is related to low fibre intake. And low fibre intake is known to have protective effect against colorectal cancers.
