After further adjusting for healthy eating index score, C-reactive protein and diabetes in model 3, HRs (95% CIs) for all-cancer mortality were 1.151 (0.847-1.563) in quintile 2, 1.078 (0.757-1.533) in quintile 3, 1.205 (0.881-1.648) in quintile 4 and 1.160 (0.872-1.545) in quintile 5, which still remained not significant (Ptrend = 0.80). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and diabetes mellitus.
