a All models were stratified by age at baseline (in single years) and adjusted for race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, black, or other), body mass index, measured as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (<25, 25 to <30, ≥30, or unknown), menopausal status (premenopausal, postmenopausal, or unknown), hormone therapy use (never, estrogen-only therapy, estrogen-plus-progestin therapy, both estrogen-only therapy and estrogen-plus-progestin therapy, progestin-only therapy, or unknown), age at menarche (≤11, 12, 13, or ≥14 years or unknown), total number of full-term pregnancies (nulligravid, gravid nulliparous, 1–2 full-term pregnancies, ≥3 full-term pregnancies, or unknown), smoking status (never, former, current, or unknown), and history of diabetes (no or yes).
