BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; HRT, hormone replacement therapy; OC, oral contraceptive; OR, odds ratio.

a

Estimates from logistic regression models, adjusted by age, year of interview, study centre, education, parity, menopausal status, OC and HRT use, plus current and past BMI, physical activity and history of hypertension when appropriate.

b

The sum does not add up to the total because of some missing values.

c

Reference category.
