Cox Hazard Regression Analysis for Colorectal Cancer-Specific Mortality According to Obesity Index

Obesity index	Univariate HR (95% CI)	p-value	Adjusted HR (95% CI)*	p-value
BMI	0.980 (0.907–1.059)	0.613	1.006 (0.904–1.120)	0.908
Average VAT	1.001 (0.993–1.008)	0.895	1.004 (0.993–1.014)	0.493
Average SAT	0.997 (0.993–1.001)	0.197	0.996 (0.990–1.003)	0.278
VAT to TAT ratio	1.031 (1.006–1.056)	0.014	1.041 (1.008–1.075)	0.015
VAT to SAT ratio	1.013 (1.004–1.022)	0.005	1.016 (1.005–1.028)	0.006

HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; TAT, total adipose tissue.

*Adjusted for age at diagnosis, sex, familial history of colorectal cancer.
