CI =confidence interval; OR = odds ratio.

a

Controls are limited to 8594 for comparisons with the 143 familial cases, as one control is a full sibling of one of the familial cases.

b

Family history in nonfamilial cases and controls includes first- or second-degree relatives with prostate cancer.
