Table 2 The mean (standard deviation), median and mode of log hazard ratio estimates for fruit and vegetables (FV) intake and number of cigarettes smoked adjusted for the bias with the multivariate method in the sensitivity analysis by varying magnitudes of validity coefficients assumed for the DQs for FV intake \( \left({\rho}_{T_1{Q}_1}\right) \) and cigarettes \( \left({\rho}_{T_2{Q}_2}\right) \), EPIC study 1992–2000
