Data in parentheses denote standard deviation, unless otherwise indicated. Variables with P value < 0.05 are italicized.
Min L4/Max L4 = lowest/highest SUV_max out of ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid/rectal colon; Sum L4 = combined SUV_max of ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid/rectal colon.
