Odds ratios were adjusted for age (in years), hormone replacement use (ever/never), oral contraceptive use (ever/never), age at menarche (in years), full term pregnancies (yes/no). Each sibling set had at least one breast cancer case and one sister control. All the subjects included in the analysis had information for all the covariate variables. CI, confidence interval.
