aModel 1: Adjusted for mammographic view, age at mammogram, BMI at age 53, age at menarche, menopausal status at the time of mammography, HT use, parity, smoking status, physical activity, social class, and the other three dietary patterns (excluding energy intake)
bModel 2: Additionally adjusted for energy intake
