Urinary incontinence scores relate to symptoms of dripping or leaking urine and higher scores indicate fewer urinary problems. All values represent geometric mean scores adjusted for age at diagnosis, time since treatment or diagnosis, calories, clinical stage of disease, Gleason score, treatment type, PSA at diagnosis, family history of prostate cancer, and the following covariates were measured at the time of QOL outcome assessment: presence of comorbidities, body mass index, smoking status, walking pace, vigorous physical activity, and any weightlifting (Model 2). P trend was calculated using the median of each quartile modeled continuously.
