Association between fibre intake and colerectal cancer estimated from EPIC-Norfolk. Log odds ratio is for six-gram per day increase in fibre intake, conditional on smoking, education, social class, physical activity, height, weight, age, alcohol intake, folate intake, intake of energy from fat and non-fat, aspirin use, and the matching variables. Missing data are handled by restriction to complete cases or by MI.
