  1. *Cancer and cardiovascular mortality were calculated on the basis of primary and secondary causes of death
  2. aModel based on age, sex, and region
  3. bModel based on age, sex, and region plus further adjustment for education, Townsend deprivation index, smoking status, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption, self-reported changes in the diet in the past 5 years, and time between the initial cancer diagnosis and study recruitment
  4. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval, HR, hazard ratio. In analyses with breast and prostate cancer as outcomes, only participants with reported sex as female and male, respectively, were included
