Time spent sedentary or in 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) and moderate-to-vigorous (760+ counts); data for moderate-to-vigorous activity missing for one case. Models include time spent in moderate-to-vigorous and sedentary behavior.

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 mammogram, history of benign breast disease, menopausal status/age at menopause combination variable, and wear time. BMI and menopausal status excluded from their respective models.

**

BMI analyses excluded those with missing BMI values; unknown categories for age at menarche and education were also excluded due to too few numbers.
