Model 1: age as underlying time variable in all analyses and all analyses stratified by age (in decades) and recruitment period (3 categories: 1999–2003, 2004–2009, 2009-ongoing).
Model 2: adjusted for height (continuous), smoking habit (3 categories), leisure-time physical activity (tertiles), alcohol intake (continuous), BMI (3 categories), age of menarche (4 categories), pregnancies of at least 6 months (continuous), pregnancies before the age of 30 years (yes/no), lifetime breastfeeding (continuous), use of hormone replacement therapy (yes/no), time of use of hormone replacement therapy (continuous), years of university studies (4 categories), family history of BC (3 categories) and age at menopause (3 categories), with age as underlying time variable in all analyses and all analyses stratified by age (in decades) and recruitment period (three categories: 1999–2003, 2004–2009, 2009-ongoing).
Model 3: additionally adjusted for total energy intake (continuous) and diabetes (yes/no).
Model 4: adjusted for propensity scores (tertiles) of adherence to the quartiles of the dietary patterns calculated with the potential confounders included in model 2.
