a

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.

b

Overall family history-age interaction: p-value = 0.04.

c

Breast cancer family history-age interaction: p-value = 0.18.

d

Age of relative at breast cancer diagnosis-age interaction: p-value = 0.07.

e

Prostate cancer family history-age interaction: p-value = 0.23.

f

Age of relative at prostate cancer diagnosis-age interaction: p-value = 0.09.

Follow-up: 254,626 person-years, 1996–2012.
