Comparison of RR Estimates from the BCRAT and the WHI

BCRAT risk category BCRAT WHI Hispanic
WHI non-Hispanic White
RR RR [95% CI] P RR [95% CI] P
Age at menarche 1.10 1.08 [0.85, 1.37] 0.905 1.07 [1.03, 1.11] 0.230
Number of breast biopsies 1.27 1.71 [1.31, 2.24] 0.031 1.27 [1.22, 1.33] 0.994
Age at first live birth (AFB) 1.24 0.97 [0.78, 1.20] 0.024 1.13 [1.09, 1.18] <0.001
Number of first-degree relatives
 with breast cancer (FDR)
2.61 2.16 [1.13, 4.13] 0.571 1.31 [1.15, 1.49] <0.001
AFB * FDR interaction 0.83 0.84 [0.55, 1.29] 0.925 1.01 [0.94, 1.09] <0.001

Parameter estimates are Relative Risks (RRs), based on follow-up through the end of WHI Main study only; RR estimates based on comparisons to the referent category for each variable: Age at menarche (≥14 years old); Number of breast biopsies (0 biopsies); Age at first live birth (<20 years old); Number of first-degree relatives with breast cancer (0 relatives); AFB * FDR (<20 years old and 0 relatives)
