Adjusted for age at diagnosis, years of diagnosis, stage of disease, grade of differentiation, tumor location, and postdiagnostic smoking status; results were similar if additionally adjusted for regular aspirin use, alcohol, folate, calcium, red meat, and energy intake.

Postdiagnostic physical activity.

Postdiagnostic BMI and change in BMI (postdiagnostic BMI-prediagnostic BMI; <-2, −2- <2, ≥2 kg/m2).
