a

Matching for geographic location (Hawaii or California), race/ethnicity, birth year (±1 year), date (±6 months) and time (±2 h) of specimen collection, and fasting hours (0–<6, 6–<8, 8–<10, and 10+ h). The models were adjusted for age at specimen collection and fasting hours as continuous variables, as well as family history of prostate cancer, BMI, and education. Forty-six cases were missing stage/grade.

b

The P for heterogeneity between localized and advanced or high grade cancers is based on the likelihood ratio test.

c

Expressed as nmol mg−1 creatinine.

d

Localized but not of high grade.

e

Subjects with values below the limit of quantitation.
