a

According to Chiuve SE et al., 2012 (ref. 12).

b

Pooled analysis includes both participants who completed the Harvard FFQ and participants who completed the NCI DHQ.

c

Number of deaths from any cause for Harvard FFQ respondents is 120 of 239 at risk. Number of deaths from any cause for NCI DHQ respondents is 133 of 280 at risk.

d

Number of bladder cancer deaths for Harvard FFQ respondents is 26 of 239 at risk and number of competing deaths is 94 of 239 at risk. Number of bladder cancer deaths for NCI DHQ respondents is 28 of 280 at risk and number of competing deaths is 105 of 280 at risk.

e

Hazard ratio per 1 unit increase in AHEI-2010 dietary component score.

f

Adjusted for sex, age at diagnosis, smoking status (never, former, current), WHO/ISUP classification (CIS, PUNLMP, low grade carcinoma, high grade carcinoma), treatment (none/TUR only, systemic), education (high school, college/graduate/professional), energy (kcal/day), and dietary instrument.
