You should go further than that as you showed that the proportional
hazard assumption was rejected for at least three variables. So you
now must fix your model. It makes no sense to show that your model is
flawed and than do nothing about it. Allowing the effects of those
variables to change over time or stratify on them are two options.
Since your variables are continuous I would prefer to let the effects
change over time.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
