aModel 1 = Adjusted Cox models which are stratified by birth cohort (< 1950, 1950–1959, 1960–1969, ≥ 1970) and adjusted for study site, race/ethnicity, body mass index, education, and hormonal birth control use

bModel 2 = Interaction models that include an interaction term with FRP as estimated by 1-year BOADICEA risk score

cSmokers are defined as having smoked at least one cigarette per day for 3 months or longer
