Quartiles in men: < 1.04, 1.04- < 2.23, 2.23- < 4.16, ≥ 4.16; quartiles in women: < 0.23, 0.23- < 1.04, 1.04- < 2.22, ≥ 2.22.

Reference quartile.

Ptrend calculated by using the median meat intake in each quartile, specific to sex.

§

Base model adjusted for age at diagnosis and sex.

Multivariable model adjusted for age at diagnosis, sex, tumor stage at diagnosis, 1992 prediagnostic energy intake (sex-specific quartiles), 1992 body mass index, history of diabetes, and history of myocardial infarction.
