All hazard ratios were adjusted for age, body mass index, pack-years of smoking, systolic blood pressure, alcohol intake, leisure time physical activity, urban residence, educational level, and dietary intakes of quercetin and Baltic herring. All dietary intake variables were energy adjusted.
Pinteraction values are included for the multiplicative interaction between the continuous variables body mass index and each respective dietary intake variable.
