Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for colorectal cancer risk in relation to anthropometric measurements, defined as continuous variables as well as quartiles, and CD20⁺ B cell infiltration, in the full cohort, in men, and in women. Cases were divided into groups of high (≥3, n = 266) and low (<3, n = 255) CD20⁺ B cell count.

The multivariable Cox regression model includes age, smoking, alcohol intake, and educational level. †Heterogeneity analysis with p < .05.
