Association of serum adipokine tertiles with the presence of a tubular adenoma.

<p>Note: Model is adjusted for age and ever/never smoked.</p

BMI is associated with polyp number (A) as well as the presence of tubular adenoma (B).

<p>A, Compared to lean males, obese males (BMI ≥30) are 6.5 times more likely to have ≥3 polyps. In addition, for each category increase in BMI, a man is 2.5 times more likely to have ≥3 polyps than no polyps. B, Compared to lean males, obese males are 7.8 times more likely to have a tubular adenoma. For each category increase in BMI, a man is 2.9 times more likely to have a tubular adenoma. The model was adjusted for age and smoking status (ever/never).</p
