Objective: The case-cohort design combines the advantages of a prospective cohort study and the efficiency of a case-control design. Usually a Cox proportional-hazards model is used for the analyses. However, adaptation of the model is necessary because of the sampling. We compared three methods that were proposed in the literature, which differ in weighting of study subjects: Prentice's, Barlow's, and Self and Prentice's method.Study Design and Setting: In a cohort of 17,357 women we studied the relationship between body mass index and cardiovascular disease (n = 821) with varying subcohort sizes (sampling fraction = 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15).Results: Even with a sampling fraction of 0.01, all three methods showed identical estimates and standard errors (SE). With sampling fractions >= 0.10, results of the case-cohort analyses were similar to the full-cohort analyses. With simulations, the three methods provided different results if the full cohort is small (
