  1. aCox regression model, with age at CRC diagnosis as entry time and age at death or censoring as exit time, stratified by country and adjusted for year of CRC diagnosis, tumor stage, tumor grade, tumor site, sex, educational level, and smoking status. All components were mutually adjusted for each other. bP for trend was calculated by modelling components of the WCRF/AICR score as continuous variables. cIn women only.
