  • The HRs of the four group for incident gastric cancer and colorectal cancer are calculated by the Cox proportional hazards model. In model 1, exerciser, alcohol consumption, male, age, smoking sates are used as covariates. In addition to them, diabetes is used as a covariate in model 2.

  • NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
