Data are presented as hazard ratio and 95% confidence intervals [HR (95% CIs)]. Models were adjusted for age (years), sex (male/female), BMI (kg/m2), smoking (yes/no), alcohol consumption (yes/no), place of residence (urban vs semi-rural), and education (lower than primary education, primary education, or higher than primary). Oxidative biomarkers: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS); superoxide dismutase (SOD); heme oxygenase (HO-1); glutathione peroxidase (GPx); glutathione reductase (GRd); oxidized glutathione (GSSG); reduced glutathione (GSH).

b

All incident cases of cancer (n = 23), excluding benign tumors and basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). Rest of the study population (n = 224).

c

Non-hormone-dependent (NHD) cancers (n = 17), excluding hormone-dependent cancers (n = 6) from the analysis. Rest of the study population (n = 224).

d

Hormone-dependent cancers (n = 6), excluding non-hormone-dependent cancers (n = 17) from the analysis. Rest of the study population (n = 224).

e

8OHdG measures were only available for 209 participants.
