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

Waist circumference is associated with polyp number (A) as well as the presence of tubular adenoma (B).
A, Compared to males with a waist circumference ≤38 inches, males with a waist circumference >45 inches are 4.6 times more likely to have ≥3 polyps. In addition, for each increase in waist circumference tertile, a man is 2.3 times more likely to have ≥3 polyps than no polyps. B, Compared to males with a waist circumference ≤38 inches, males with a waist circumference >45 inches are 6.2 times more likely to have a tubular adenoma. For each category increase in waist circumference tertile, a man is 2.6 times more likely to have a tubular adenoma than no adenoma. The model was adjusted for age and smoking status (ever/never).
