Multivariable Hazard Ratio adjusted for: age, race (White, Black, Asian, other), body mass index, smoking status (never smoker, past smoker who quit >10 years ago, past smoker who quit ≤10 years ago, current smoker), PSA screening (yes/no in prior questionnaire cycle), PSA testing intensity (variable indicating subjects who had testing in >50% of time periods), alcohol intake, vigorous physical activity, total energy intake, consumption of tomato sauce, and red meat.

Follow-up: 149,186 person-years, 1996–2012.

Lethal prostate cancer: metastatic, or fatal disease.
