Results shown are for the logistic regression model in all age groups including all early-life risk factors at the same time (n = 78,603), adjusted for the potential confounding variables Townsend deprivation index, BMI, smoking status, smoking pack-years, frequency of alcohol intake, number of live births, educational level and whether the participant ate meat. The early life risk-factors included are age at menarche, birth weight, maternal smoking, breast fed as a baby, part of multiple birth and comparative body size at age 10. Cancer at under 20 years and year of birth were not included due to the small number of cases in the former, and confounding with age at recruitment in the latter. Confidence intervals are 99.995%.
