a

Data are expressed as mean (SD) unless otherwise indicated. Wild-type genotypes include individuals with no *2 (R144C) or *3 (I359L) alleles. CYP2C9*2 genotypes include individuals with ≥ one *2 allele. CYP2C9*3 genotypes include individuals with ≥ one *3 allele. Individuals with one *2 allele and one *3 allele were classified as having CYP2C9*3 genotypes.

b

Test of difference between wild-type, CYP2C9*2, and CYP2C9*3 genotype groups was calculated by analysis of variance for continuous variables, χ2 for categorical variables.

c

Race or ethnic group was determined by the investigator using predefined categories.

d

Body-mass index is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters.

e

The adenoma burden was defined as the sum of the diameter of all adenomas reported during colonoscopy at baseline.

f

Cardiovascular events were defined as myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, congestive heart failure, angina, and atherosclerotic heart disease.

g

Low-dose aspirin was defined as 325 mg or less every other day or 162.5 mg or less every day.
