2.3.
Outcomes
All deaths through December 31, 2012 were ascertained through linkage
with the National Death Index
[22] .PCSM was defined as deaths with
prostate cancer coded as the singular underlying cause of death per
International Classification of Diseases codes (ninth revision: 185; 10th
revision: C61). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and all-cause
mortality were examined as secondary outcomes.
2.4.
Statistical analysis
Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate
cause-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for PCSM, CVD mortality,
and all-cause mortality across categories of recreational PA. All deaths
other than the outcome were censored at death date. Follow-up time in
prediagnosis analyses started from diagnosis date and ended on death
date or December 31, 2012, whichever came first. Follow-up time in
postdiagnosis analyses started 4 yr after completion of the postdiagnosis
questionnaire.
All multivariable-adjusted models were stratified by single year of
age at diagnosis, and controlled for calendar year of diagnosis, race,
tumor extent, Gleason score, and nodal involvement. Prediagnosis
models further controlled for education, family history of prostate
cancer, and the following lifestyle factors as measured on the
prediagnosis survey: body mass index (BMI), smoking status, CVD
history, current multivitamin supplement use, red and processed meat
intake, fish intake, sitting time, and any history of PSA testing not leading
to prostate cancer diagnosis, categorized as shown in
