  1. CRC colorectal cancer, BMI body weight index
  2. p < 0.05
  3. p value was derived from the Mann‒Whitney test in data of continuous variables with abnormal distribution (M, Median; IQR, Interquartile Range). The p value was derived from the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test in data of categorical variables from colorectal cancer and healthy controls (n, %)
