Adjusted by BMI, colon cancer in first-degree relative, smoking status, alcohol drinking, eating breakfast, and fried food, grilled food, and hot and spicy food intake as category variables; and total energy, total fruits, milk product and red meat intake as continuous variables.
Test for trends calculated with the median intake of each category of solanaceous vegetable intake as a continuous variable.
Bold values indicates statistical significance, which is defined as a two-side P < 0.05.
