Used unconditional logistic regression adjusting for number of pregnancies, postmenopausal hormone use, oral contraceptive use duration, age at menarche, age, menopausal status at diagnosis, cohort, season of blood collection, body mass index at blood collection, and the interaction of study with oral contraceptive use duration and body mass index.

p-heterogeneity across Fok1, Bsm1, and Cdx2 genotypes for 25-hydroxyvitam in D are 0.81, 0.81, and 0.32, respectively and for 1,25-dihydroxyvitam in D are 0.47, 0.53, and 0.65, respectively.
