  1. The observed proportions adjusted for age and sex are compared to those of the general population in year 1970 and 2010 (ref National Board of Health and Welfare). If the observed confidence interval in the Lynch syndrome group did not overlap with the proportions in the general population, the reference is denoted as “above” (or “below”) the reference
  2. LL Lower level of 95% confidence interval, UL upper level of 95% confidence interval
