All results adjusted for age (age and age2), race, education, pack years of cigarette use, weekly intakes of meat, fish, fruit and alcohol, and parity (women). Waist circumference was reported by 94.1% of men and 91.5% of women, hip circumference by 88.8% of women, and chest circumference by 81.5% of men and 91.5% of women, and bra cup size by 90.6% of women. Significance levels for relative risks were coded
