Abbreviations: 25(OH)D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; CI, confidence interval; DBP, vitamin D binding protein; OR, odds ratio; Q, quartile.

a

Season-specific quartiles (nmol/L). Darker months (November-April): Q1, ≤28.5; Q2, >28.5–40.3; Q3, >40.3–55.8; Q4, >55.8. Lighter months (May–October): Q1, ≤38.8; Q2, >38.8–51.8; Q3, >51.8–67.8; Q4, >67.8.

b

Conditional logistic regression analyses conditioned on matching factors: age at randomization, date of blood draw, calendar year of cohort entry, and time since baseline prostate cancer screening.

c

Additional mutual adjustment for DBP or 25(OH)D.

d

Further adjustment for baseline PSA.
