Data are presented as OR and 95% CI.
Model 1: adjusted for age and energy.
Model 2: additionally, adjusted for region, marital status, education, disease history, physical activity, family history of breast cancer, menopausal status, smoking, alcohol consumption, and socioeconomic status.
Model 3: additional adjustment for BMI.
ORs were obtained from binary logistic regression.
