All potential explanatory factors in Table 1, and dysmenorrhoea and OPP in the past 12 months at age 38, were tested for association, only those found to be associated in unadjusted or adjusted models, or where prior evidence suggests they are associated and/or could be important confounders, are presented.

Simultaneously adjusted for all variables reported in the adjusted analysis.
