# (%) ER+ = number (percentage) of patients (out of 346) with ER expression at or above the cut point, except for a cut point of 0% where ER+ is only those above the cut point. ER expression measured as semi-continuous percent positive cells (0–100%), then dichotomized to ER+ and ER− groups.

Each estimate is the BMI result from a separate model with a dependent variable of dichotomous tumor ER status (ER+ vs. ER−) defined by the respective cut point, and with independent variables of BMI (either [>=30 vs. <30] or [>=25 vs. <25] but not both), years of E-Only HT Use (continuous), years of E+P HT Use (continuous), years of Other HT Use (continuous), years of oral contraceptive use (continuous), current smoker (yes/no), former smoker (yes/no), pack-years of cigarettes smoked (continuous), diabetes (yes/no), family history of endometrial cancer (yes/no), parity (continuous), years from menarche to menopause (continuous), years since menopause (continuous). HT results from the same sets of models are presented in Supplemental Tables S2 and S4.
