aModel 1 is adjusted for age, race, body mass index, menopausal status, family history of breast cancer, age at menarche, use of hormone therapy, and parity and age at first full-term pregnancy combined, where BI-RADS category 1 (almost entirely fat) is the referent group; bModel 2 is adjusted for the same variables as Model 1 but BI-RADS category 2 (scattered fibroglandular densities) is the referent group; cP-value for trend test is based on the likelihood ratio test statistic and is two-sided. The same ordinal model was fit to assess the P-value for trend of Model 1 and Model 2. BI-RADS, Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System.
