Multivariate hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval of association between number of teeth, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cancer.

§: Same as in Table 2
Model 1: Same as in Table 2
Model 2: Same as in Table 2
Model 3: Same as in Table 2
Model 4: Model 3+ Three retained factors from factor analysis of 49 food groups
Model 5: Same as in Table 2
HR: Hazard ratio,
* P–value for association;
‡ P–value for linear trend;
† adjusted for competing-risk events
T2DM and cancer: All variables as well as the final model (model 4) showed no evidence that proportional hazard assumption was violated (P = 0.09 and 0.52 respectively).
