Figure 1.

Data collection time frames showing the total number of men who had data on adiposity close to diagnosis for (A) BMI, (B) waist circumference, (C) hip circumference, and (D) waist to hip ratio. The prediagnosis analyses included men with incident prostate cancer diagnosed during cohort follow-up who had baseline (at recruitment) or follow-up anthropometric data collected up to 2 years before diagnosis. The postdiagnosis analyses included men with prevalent prostate cancer at study entry who had baseline anthropometric data collected up to 5 years after diagnosis or men with incident prostate cancer who had follow-up anthropometric data collected up to 5 years after diagnosis. The numbers shown on the diagram represent the total number of men with prostate cancer before exclusion of individuals with missing data on the covariates of the main model of the present study (ie, age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, disease stage, tumor grade, and smoking status). BMI = body mass index.
