All models adjusted for age at enrollment, gender, and county of residence.

^

DF for the test of heterogeneity across the subtypes; note that these associated p-values are testing whether the trend differs across the three main subtypes and "other" subtypes.

+

p-value for the test of statistical interaction between gender and physical activity.
