Table 4 Length of the large intestine by states of diverticula

	Median (cm)	Range (cm)
Diverticula negative in any segment	157.2	104.9-259.3
Diverticula positive in any segment	154.7	103.9-246.6
Multiple in cecum to ascending colon	154.5	114.9-246.6
Severe in cecum to ascending colon	151.6	119.6-198.4
Multiple in sigmoid colon	149.9	113.5-195.6
Severe in sigmoid colon	145.1	115.0-192.0

The large intestine of participants with multiple and severe diverticula in the sigmoid colon was significantly shorter than that of the participants with no diverticula (P < 0.001).
