Overall activity determined by total counts per day averaged across valid days of wear; time spent sedentary or in light and moderate-to-vigorous activity calculated as the average minutes per day across valid days of wear. Categories determined by the quartile distribution among controls; behavior defined by the following counts: sedentary (0-99 counts), overall activity (100+ counts), light (100-759 counts), and moderate-to-vigorous (760+ counts); data for moderate-to-vigorous activity missing for one case.

1

Age and BMI adjusted models also include adjustment for wear time.

2

Multivariable models adjusted for the following: age, BMI, education, current smoking status, age at menarche, number of full term births, breast cancer family history, previous screening mammography, history of benign breast disease, menopausal status/age at menopause combination variable, and wear time.

3

Models include time spent in moderate-to-vigorous and sedentary behavior.

4

Models include time spent in light, moderate-to-vigorous, and sedentary behavior.
