Multivariable relative risks (MVRRs) were adjusted for energy intake (quintiles), age at menarche (<12, 12–13, ≥14 years), body mass index (<25, 25–29, ≥30 kg/m2), family history of breast cancer (mother or sister), education (≤12, 13–15, ≥16 years), parity and age at first live birth (nulliparous, parity 1–2 and age at first birth <25 years, parity 1–2 and age at first birth 25–29 years, parity 1–2 and age at first birth ≥30 years, parity ≥3 and age at first birth <25 years, parity ≥3 and age at first birth 25–29 years, parity ≥3 and age at first birth ≥30 years), oral contraceptive use (yes/no), menopausal status (postmenopausal, premenopausal, and uncertain), age at menopause (<35, 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, ≥55 years), menopausal hormone use (yes/no), vigorous physical activity (none, ≤2, >2 h/week), smoking status (never, former, current), and alcohol intake (none, 1–3, 4–6, ≥7 drinks/week)
