For WHR and WC, the associations for the highest versus lowest quartile decreased from 1.38 (1.27‐1.49) to 1.32 (1.21‐1.43) and from 1.35 (1.24‐1.47) to 1.27 (1.17‐1.39), respectively, after adjusting for ln (CRP), which by itself showed a clear association with increased CRC risk (Table 1). Here, CRP is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
