For the highest category.
Multivariable models were adjusted for history of hypertension (yes/no), body mass index (continuous), pack-years of smoking (continuous), combination of parity and age at first birth (age at first birth < 25 and parity of 1 or 2; age at first birth ≥ 25 years and parity of 1 or 2, or nulliparous; age at first birth <25 years and parity of ≥ 3; and age at first birth ≥ 25 years and parity of ≥ 3), alcohol intake (continuous), and total energy intake (continuous). Age and year of questionnaire return were adjusted as stratification variables.
