HR per 1 allele increase in 5-SNP genetic risk score (GRS). HR for African Americans adjusted for 10 principal components of ancestry.

Nongenetic factors include: age (continuous), sex/HRT (men, women not on HRT, women on HRT), BMI (continuous), diabetes (yes, no), and history of cancer (yes, no) at baseline.
