status smoking and ---> analysis was used to estimate the ORs of colon polyps
by age, MetS status smoking and...
Table 2 - the statistical notation on column 5 and footnotes should be more
detailed (Scheffe's test --> Anova Scheffe's test ?)
Table 3 - the statistical notation of the table should be more detailed (Age and
sex adjusted odds ratio--> in the Methods section of the paper is written that the
adjustement was made also for other variables; it is not written in the table the
