The figure shows a 3-knot spline of the relation between overweight duration and cancer risk, allowing for non-linear effects and adjusted for sex, study, smoking status and physical activity (Model 2). Restricted cubic splines very fitted with knots at 0, 1, 5 and 10 years for overweight duration and at 0, 1, 13 and 65 for OWY. P-values are for non-linearity.
