Yogurt intake and risk of colorectal adenoma according to subtype (A); yogurt intake and risk of conventional adenoma only according to anatomical site (B) in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS). *High-risk adenomas include adenomas ≥1 cm, or with tubulovillous/villous histology or high grade/severe dysplasia or ≥3 adenomas. OR was adjusted for the covariates denoted in table 1. P for trend was calculated using the median of each yogurt intake category as a continuous variable.
