NOTE: Data were adjusted for age at interview, education, income, history of fibroadenoma, history of breast cancer among first-degree relatives, and ever had live birth. Occupational activity was measured as the average time spent in standing or walking and classified into one of three activity categories (i.e., heavy, medium, or nonphysical work).
