a

Adjusted for age (continuous), education (≤high school, some college, ≥college), NSAID use at baseline (yes, no), aspirin use at baseline (yes, no), unopposed estrogen use (never, former, current), estrogen + progestin use (never, former, current), multivitamin use at baseline (yes, no), race/ethnicity (NHW, Hispanic, black, Asian, Native American, other), total energy intake (continuous), parous (yes, no, unknown), mammogram (ever, never), colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy (ever, never), family history (mother/father, full-blooded sister/brother, daughter/son, grandmother) of cancer (yes, no, unknown), and having a current healthcare provider (yes, no).

b

Trend tested by modeling ACS score as an ordinal variable (0–8).

c

Likelihood ratio test for interaction between smoking and ACS guidelines score (continuous) on each outcome.
