Multivariate adjusted HRs are adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, and the following baseline characteristics: hysterectomy, use of menopausal hormones, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use/duration, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and regular coffee consumption. The 3,333 women missing data for one or more of the covariates adjusted for in the multivariate models were excluded from these analyses.
