Abbreviations: BMI=body mass index; CI=confidence interval; FIGO=International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics; HR=hazard ratio.

a

Analyses based on patients with complete information for all variables (n=905).

b

Age at primary operation, continuous variable with HR given per year.

c

When including patients with endometrioid histology only: adjusted HR for BMI was 1.07, 95% CI 0.73–1.55, P=0.7.
