In the fully adjusted Fine–Gray model, participants in the highest HEI-2020 quartile had a lower subdistribution hazard of CRC-specific death than those in the lowest quartile (SHR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.46–0.88; p = 0.007), with a significant trend across quartiles (P for trend = 0.004; as detailed in Supplementary Table 2 ).

The fully adjusted model showed that participants in the highest HEI-2020 quartile had a lower point estimate for CRC incidence than those in the lowest quartile, although this comparison did not reach statistical significance (HR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.73–1.02).
