^aThe total effects presented here include both the direct effects (not mediated through estradiol; Table 3) and the indirect effects (mediated through estradiol).

^bResults were adjusted for total energy intake.

^cResults were adjusted for total energy intake, age, body mass index, physical activity, and menstrual cycle phase.
