Sequential stratification/adjustments to the model comparing the risk of incident colorectal cancer associated with DP1 and DP2. Top, sequential changes to the HRs for quintiles 5 versus 1 for DP1 and DP2. Bottom, sequential changes to the HRs for DP1 and DP2 z-scores in continuous form. The X-axis represents HRs on the log-scale. CIs were obtained using the floating absolute risk method (34). χ2 and P values were calculated by likelihood ratio tests to assess the heterogeneity in the associations with sequential adjustments for covariates. Behavioral factors included smoking status, physical activity level (MET-hours/week), and total energy intake (ln-kJ). SES* comprises TDI and educational attainment. Models were stratified by covariates violating the proportional hazards assumption: physical activity, family history of colorectal cancer, education, and BMI. SES, socioeconomic status.
