Model 1: Hazard ratios are adjusted for age (linear), race (white, black, other), family history of prostate cancer, longitudinal PSA (linear; time-dependent); longitudinal DRE (normal vs abnormal; time-dependent), negative biopsy at baseline or on study (yes vs no; time-dependent), BMI (<25, 25 to <30, 30+), history of diabetes (yes, no/unknown), and treatment arm (vitamin E, selenium, both, placebo).

Model 2: Hazard ratios are adjusted for age (linear), race (white, black, other), family history of prostate cancer, longitudinal PSA (linear; time-dependent); longitudinal DRE (normal vs abnormal; time-dependent), negative biopsy at baseline or on study (yes vs no; time-dependent), BMI (<25, 25 to <30, 30+), history of diabetes (yes, no/unknown), and treatment arm (vitamin E, selenium, both, placebo) AND education, smoking status and alcohol consumption.

For grade-specific models, participants with a different grade of cancer are censored at diagnosis date, and cases with no known Gleason score (N=203) are removed from the analysis.
