#

Disease aggressiveness based on a composite variable incorporating Gleason score, stage and PSA where more aggressive cases were defined by a Gleason score of 7(4+3) or greater, or non-localized stage, or PSA > 20 ng/mL at time of diagnosis

*

OR= odds ratio adjusted for age, race, PSA tests within the 5 years before diagnosis or reference date, family history of prostate cancer, history of any sexually transmitted infection, history of prostatitis, number of male and female sexual partners

Same control population as for all analysis
