Associations between arMED score and overall survival among subgroups of breast cancer survivors. Abbreviations: BC, breast cancer; BMI, body mass index; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; ER, estrogen receptor; PR, progesterone receptor; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; DRRD, Diabetes Risk Reduction Diet; ISD, Inflammatory Score of the Diet; N, number of breast cancer cases. ¹Each model has excluded of their stratification/adjustment the specific variable that represents the subgroup in each case. Models stratified by country, stage (metastatic, non-metastatic, unknown) and menopausal status at diagnosis and adjusted for age at diagnosis, attained level of education, physical activity, body mass index (modeled as restricted cubic spline with five internal knots placed at equally spaced percentiles), alcohol consumption reported at recruitment, smoking habit and intensity as cigarettes per day at recruitment, ever use of hormones for menopause at diagnosis, grade of differentiation, and tumor receptor status: ER, PR, HER2. ²Only BC survivors with known status of the receptor (positive or negative) have been considered. ³Categories of physical activity. Inactive: includes moderately inactive and inactive. Active: includes moderately active and active
