IQR, interquartile range; RT, radiation therapy.

*

P values based on GEE that took into account the familial correlation between survivors and control subjects.

Current smokers: at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and current smoking; former smokers: 100 cigarettes and no current smoking.

Defined as at least 7.5 metabolic equivalent of task hours of physical activity per week.

§

Treatment classification based on Oeffinger et al18 in which the high-risk relapse/transplant group included any survivor with a relapse or auto/allogeneic transplant ≤5 years postdiagnosis, the high-risk RT only group includes those with chest RT ≥ 35 Gy and abdominal or pelvic RT ≥ 35 Gy, high-risk combined modality included those with chest RT ≥ 35 Gy plus anthracyclines or cyclophosphamide-equivalent dose (CED), high-risk chest RT only included those with chest RT ≥ 35 Gy without any anthracycline or CED, intermediate-risk combined group A included those with chest RT 15.0 to 34.9 Gy with anthracycline and CED, intermediate-risk combined group B included those with chest RT 15.0 to 34.9 Gy with anthracycline or CED (not both), the low-risk group included those with no RT and both anthracyclines and CED, lastly the other group included those with no chest RT or <15 Gy, and not both CED and anthracycline.
