*

Simple model adjusted for matching factors: age at blood (continuous), year of blood (1989, 1990, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999), time of blood (1–8am, 9am-noon, 1pm-midnight), fasting (yes/no), luteal day (3–5, 6–7, 8–9, 10–28, untimed), race (Caucasian, other); and age at blood squared (continuous)

^

Multivariate model additionally adjusted for the following variables (categories): age at menarche (<12, 12, 13, ≥14y), parity/age at first birth (nulliparous, 1–2 children/<25y, 1–2 children/≥25y, ≥3 children/<25y, ≥3 children/≥25y), BMI at age 18 (<21, 21–<23, ≥23), oral contraceptive use (ever/never), family history of breast cancer (yes/no), history of benign breast disease (yes/no)

**

Triple negative model adjusts for reduced set of matching factors only: age at blood (continuous), age at blood squared (continuous), luteal day (3–5, 6–7, 8–9, 10–28, untimed)
