¹Values are means ± SEs estimated by using mixed linear regression models. Model 1 adjusted for age and questionnaire cycle. Model 2 adjusted for age, questionnaire cycle, education, geographic region, vigorous activity, age at menarche, parity, years since last birth, menopausal status, smoking status, alcohol intake, and the meat/fried foods pattern.
