a

Hazard ratio (HR) reflects association for a one standard deviation (SD) change in continuous log-transformed and age-adjusted metabolic equivalents (METs) per week (baseline SD=1.98; adolescent SD=1.62)

b

Refer to eTable 1 in the supplemental materials for the minimum number of metabolic equivalents (METs) required to be classified as active for a given age at baseline.

c

Adjusted for race and ethnicity; study center; and baseline age; model stratified by birth cohort.

d

Adjusted for race and ethnicity; study center; baseline age; and lifetime familial breast cancer risk; model stratified by birth cohort.

e

Adjusted for race and ethnicity; study center; baseline age; lifetime familial breast cancer risk; education; parity and breastfeeding;, and use of alcohol, cigarettes, hormonal birth control and menopausal hormone therapy; model stratified by birth cohort.

f

Adjusted for race and ethnicity; study center; baseline age; lifetime familial breast cancer risk; education; parity and breastfeeding; use of alcohol, cigarettes, hormonal birth control, and menopausal hormone therapy; and body mass index; model stratified by birth cohort.

g

Quintile 1 (Q1) includes the least physically active women in the sample during adolescence with METs ranging from 0-14 per week, Q2=15-27 METs per week, Q3=28-44 METs per week, and Q5=47-72 METs per week. N=14,619 (cases=852) because 931 participants missing data on recreational physical activity during adolescence.
