OR, Odds ratio; CI, Confidence interval; MV, Multivariable.

a

Odds ratios adjusted for age (continuous), family history of colorectal cancer (yes, no), smoking status (never, past, current), alcohol consumption (non-current, current, 1–6, current ≥7 drinks/week), vigorous exercise (none, <5, ≥5 hours/week), red meat consumption (quartiles), diabetes (yes, no), and menopausal hormone use (yes, no).

b

Non-users are defined as participants who did not report regular aspirin use during the study period.
