a

Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals from conditional logistic regression, matched by 5-year age band and recruitment centre, and adjusted by age (continuous variable).

b

Relative risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals from multinomial logistic regression

c

Relative risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals from logistic regression

d

p-trend for the association of prostate cancer risk per 1 unit increment in index score. Model 1 for cancer sub-types: adjusted for age (continuous variable) and recruitment centre. Model 2: further adjusted for family history of prostate cancer, smoking status and total energy intake (continuous variable).
