§

Clinically significant prostate cancer was defined as Gleason score ≥7, clinical stage T3–T4, PSA ≥10, or with nodal/distant metastases.

α

Risk of typical 50-year-old defined as overall population incidence at age 50.

β

ΔAge = difference between 50 and the age when risk is that of a typical 50-year-old man.
