To account for clustering by family, robust 95% CIs are reported
LL log likelihood
aAdjusted for log baseline age as a quadratic
bAdjusted for history of benign breast disease, race/ethnicity, and education; stratified by year of birth (10-year groups) and study site
cChange in LL from the base model that includes benign breast disease, race/ethnicity, and education
