  1. Variables are given in mean ± SD unless indicated otherwise. ‘Number regression’ is lower than the total Number of ‘Cancer’ and ‘Controls’ due to missing data in the adjusted models.  P-values were significant if <0.05. Model 1: adjusted for gender and age. Model 2: model 1 plus height, weight, current smoking status and number of chronic diseases. Chair stand test in seconds was only calculated for individuals who could perform the test five times.
