Model 1 used age as the underlying time metric and was adjusted for sex (male, female).

Model 2 was additionally adjusted for tumor site (colon, rectum), tumor grade, tumor stage (local, regional, unknown), surgery (yes, no), radiation (yes, no), chemotherapy (yes, no), time reported watching television (0 to 2, 3, ≥ 4 h/wk), and smoking status (never, former, current).

Model 3 was adjusted for all covariates in model 2 and also for body mass index (continuous kg/m2) and self-reported health (excellent/very good, good, fair, poor).

§

Model 4 used the same adjusting variables as model 3, but was mutually adjusted for pre- and postdiagnosis LTPA.
