1

Models adjusted for age, gender, previous polyps, number of adenomas at baseline, and study.

2

BMI categories are normal weight, > 18.5 and <25; overweight >=25.0 and <30; and obese >30 inches.

3

Advanced recurrence is a recurrence of an adenoma ≥1 cm and/or with at least 25% villous histology.

4

P-trend calculated with multinomial logistic regression modeling with the categorical variable for body size as the independent variable.

5

Waist cutpoints for men (inches) small <36.5; medium 36.5–39.0; large 39.1–42.0; extra-large >42. Waist cutpoints for women (in) small <30.0; medium 30.0–33.0; large 33.2–37.0; extra-large >37.0.

The number of recurrences/number of participants per cell for small waist size were as follows: Total Population, non-advanced recurrence (167/591); Total Population, advanced recurrence (90/591); Men, non-advanced recurrence (121/400); Men, advanced recurrence (62/400); Women, non-advanced recurrence (46/191); Women, advanced recurrence (28/191).

7

The number of recurrences/number of participants per cell for medium waist size were as follows: Total Population, non-advanced recurrence (170/563); Total Population, advanced recurrence (77/563); Men, non-advanced recurrence (131/386); Men, advanced recurrence (54/386); Women, non-advanced recurrence (39/177); Women, advanced recurrence (23/177).

8

The number of recurrences/number of participants per cell for large waist size were as follows: Total Population, non-advanced recurrence (176/569); Total Population, advanced recurrence (98/569); Men, non-advanced recurrence (123/387); Men, advanced recurrence (75/387); Women, non-advanced recurrence (53/182); Women, advanced recurrence (23/182).

9

The number of recurrences/number of participants per cell for extra-large waist size were as follows: Total Population, non-advanced recurrence (184/538); Total Population, advanced recurrence (76/538); Men, non-advanced recurrence (129/355); Men, advanced recurrence (57/355); Women, non-advanced recurrence (55/183); Women, advanced recurrence (19/183).
