1

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

2

Family history of colorectal cancer in one or more first degree relative.

3

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

4

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