CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.

aOdds ratio adjusted for age, marital status, SES, family history of cancer, history of benign breast disease, live births, months of breast-feeding, passive smoking from husband, alcohol drinking, physical activity, menopausal status, BMI, nulliparous and oral contraceptive use.

bTest for linear trend was calculated based on the estimates for folate intake category (coded 1, 2).

cTest for linear trend was calculated based on the estimates for SNP genotypes category (coded 1, 2).
