a

Adjusted for age (continuous variable), recruitment centre, family history of prostate cancer, smoking status and total energy intake (kcal/d). All components were mutually adjusted for each other except for the ‘foods and drinks that promote weight gain‘ component.

b

Odds ratios and 95% CI per 0.25 score increment.

c

Odds ratios and 95% CI per 0.5 score increment

d

P-values for trend were calculated by modeling components of WCRF/AICR score as a continuous variable.
