Note: Time-varying Cox proportional hazard (PH) models were conducted to estimate the obesity-related cancer risk or HR associated with a per unit difference in continuous NW (SD-scaled), where . Annual walkability was considered for data points within the 31 y of follow-up. Models adjusted for covariates age, race/ethnicity, education level, smoking status, alcohol intake, menopausal status, parity, percentage below the poverty level living in neighborhood at baseline, and ever moving from baseline residence at any time during follow-up. Covariates alcohol, smoking status, education level, and race/ethnicity had missing observations and were included in the model using multiple imputation with 10 iterations for missing covariates. A total of 316,783.5 person-years at risk were accrued throughout the study. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; SD, standard deviation.
Breast cancer diagnosed in menopause. Twenty-one women had unknown menopausal status at breast cancer diagnosis that were treated as a postmenopausal diagnosis if age at diagnosis was and treated as premenopausal if age at diagnosis was years of age.
