^aWeighted logistic regression analyses based on 4-year MEC weights for 1999–2002 NHANES data. Adjusted regression models include age (in years) and hysterectomy as covariates.

^bWeighted logistic regression analyses based on 4-year fasting sample weights for 1999–2002 NHANES data. Adjusted regression models include age (in years) and hysterectomy as covariates.

^cUnweighted analyses.

^dOdds ratios and 95% confidence intervals could not be computed due to sample size limitations.
