Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio; PARP, population-attributable risk proportion.

a

Estimated by multivariable conditional logistic regression.

b

Odds ratios presented were adjusted for family history of breast cancer, BMI, history of benign breast biopsy, age at first live birth, and Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) breast density.

c

PARP calculated using multivariable adjusted ORs.

d

Underweight, BMI less than 18.5; normal, 18.5–24.9; overweight, 25.0–29.9; obesity class I, 30.0–34.9; and obesity class II or III, 35.0 or more.

e

PARP calculated for shifting everyone to normal weight and holding underweight constant.

f

BI-RADS classification system: a, almost entirely fat; b, scattered fibroglandular densities; c, heterogeneously dense; and d, extremely dense.22

g

PARP calculated for shifting the BI-RADS categories heterogeneously dense and extremely dense to scattered fibroglandular densities, and holding almost entirely fat constant.
