a Cases and controls were matched on age and follow-up time.

b Based on a conditional logistic regression model.

c Adjusted for age, educational status, body mass index (weight (kg)/height (m)2), physical activity, family history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative, menopausal status, smoking status, alcohol intake, total energy intake, red meat intake, fruit and vegetable intake, and regular aspirin use.
