Multiplicative estimates provided are calculated according to eβ for the given unit change.
The multivariate PLR model was adjusted for a priori chosen variables: age at menarche, ever use of OC, ever use of HRT, age at screening, number of live-born children, and current BMI.
Abbreviations: LL, lower limit; UL, upper limit.
