Adjusted for age, total number of comorbid conditions (accumulated, 1986–2004), perceived general health and current smoking, cancer stage, cancer type, cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy), subsequent cancer diagnosis before 2004, current cancer treatment and person years since cancer diagnosis.
Additional adjustment for the other two components of the adherence score (e.g., adherence to the physical activity and dietary recommendations for the analysis of the body weight recommendation adherence).
Sum of adherence scores for the six dietary recommendations (range: 0–6).
