a

Values are maximum likelihood estimates of coefficients for modification to annual change in percent density and 95% confidence intervals from mixed-effects regression models.

b

One unit change in index measured on a 1–15 scale for total activity and a 1–5 scale for individual domains.

c

Model 1 represents univariate models for each activity index.

d

Model 2 represents individual models for each activity index adjusted for body mass index.

e

Model 3 represents single models for each activity index adjusted for age, body mass index, menopausal status, race/ethnicity, study site, parity, past use of hormones (contraceptive and postmenopausal hormones), smoking, change in body mass index, and change in menopausal status.
