Abbreviations: 95% CIs=95% confidence intervals; ORs=odds ratios; s.d.= standard deviation; wPRSs= weighted-polygenic risk scores.
ORs and 95% CIs adjusted for age, eight principal components for European ancestry, and PRACTICAL study site, and represent one s.d. increase in each PUFA-specific wPRS (i.e., 1.20 for LA, 1.13 for AA, 0.01 for ALA, 0.06 for EPA, 0.06 for DPA, and 0.08 for DHA).
Interaction assessed on a multiplicative scale using the likelihood ratio test.
Advanced prostate cancer refers to prostate cancer cases with either Gleason score ⩾ 8, death from prostate cancer, metastatic disease, or prostate-specific antigen levels > 100 ng ml−1 at diagnosis.
ORs and 95% CIs for advanced vs non-advanced and screen-detected vs clinically-detected prostate cancers were estimated using polytomous regression. A homogeneity test was conducted to assess statistically significant differences between stratum-specific estimates.
