Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.

a

Logistic regression was adjusted for age, sex, and fish oil treatment assignment.

b

Logistic regression was further adjusted for use of colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy in the past 10 years prior to randomization.

c

P for interaction was calculated by Wald test for the product term between vitamin D randomization assignment and baseline serum 25(OH)D level (binary).
