The determinants of prostate cancer – aside from established but non-modifiable risk factors of increased age, black ethnicity and a positive family history – are poorly understood. We examined the association of a series of baseline socioeconomic, behavioural and metabolic characteristics with the risk of prostate cancer mortality in a 40 year follow-up of the original Whitehall cohort study which gave rise to 578 prostate cancer deaths in 17,934 men. After adjustment for a series of baseline covariates, results from proportional hazards regression analyses indicated that marital status (hazard ratio; 95% confidence interval: widowed/divorced vs. married: 1.44; 0.95, 2.18), raised blood cholesterol (tertile 3 vs. 1: 1.35; 1.11, 1.65), and increased physical stature (tertile 3 vs. 1: 1.37; 1.09, 1.74) were associated with death from prostate cancer, although statistical significance at conventional levels was not apparent in all analyses. There was no evidence that physical activity, smoking habit, socio-economic status, either component of blood pressure, nor diabetes predicted the risk of death from this malignancy herein. In the present study there was a suggestion that marital status, blood cholesterol and height were risk indices for death from prostate cancer.
