1

Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, adjusted for age (years, continuous), study (SFBCS, 4-CBCS), ethnicity/acculturation (low, moderate, high, non-Hispanic white), and average alcohol consumption in reference year (g/day; 0, 0.1-4.9, 5-9.9, 10-19.9, ≥

20).

2

Overall obesity measures additionally adjusted for waist circumference (continuous) and abdominal obesity measures additionally adjusted for current BMI (continuous).

3

Adjusted for all variables above except acculturation.

4

Based on tertiles among all premenopausal controls.

5

Based on measured height at interview (for SFBCS participants, self-reported adult height was used when measured height was not available).

6

Based on self-reported averaged weight at age 15 and age 30 for 4-CBCS cases and controls, self-reported weight in the 20’s for SFBCS cases and controls (between ages 25-30 for cases diagnosed from April 1995 to April 1998 and matched controls and between ages 20-29 for cases diagnosed from May 1998 to April 2002 and matched controls), and measured height at interview (for SFBCS participants, self-reported adult height was used when measured height was not available).

7

Based on self-reported weight in reference year (or measured weight at interview if self-reported weight in reference year was not available) and measured height at interview (or self-reported adult height for SFBCS participants for whom measured height was not available).

8

Adjusted additionally for young-adult BMI (continuous).

9

Based on self-reported weight in reference year (or measured weight at interview when self-reported weight was not available) minus self-reported young-adult weight; excludes 17 premenopausal ER−PR− cases and 125 premenopausal controls who lost weight.
