Models were adjusted for age, sex, smoking, alcohol, and energy. Additional adjustment for BMI, waist circumference, chronic diseases (CVD and diabetes), physical activity, antioxidant use, percentage energy from fat, and fruit and vegetable intake did not alter these findings.
Models were adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol, energy, menopausal status, age at menopause, hormone therapy use and number of live births. Additional adjustment for BMI, waist circumference, chronic diseases (CVD and diabetes), physical activity, antioxidant use and percentage energy from fat did not alter these findings.
