Table 3.

Results for the analysis of Section 5.3, where lung cancer and colorectal cancer were analyzed separately, thus each analysis has one disease and 2 independent populations. The weights of the component scores were normalized so that their sum = 12, thus placing the weights on the same scale as the HEI-2005 total score, whose weights all = 1. The p-values for the test that the individuals components = 1 are also displayed.
