Dependent variable: breast cancer incidence adjusted by age (rate×100 000).

R2: coefficient of determination (%) achieved in the bivariate relationship.

β (standardized): partial coefficient of regression achieved in the multivariate relationship and 95% CI. In the linear model, BCI adjusted by age (rate×100 000) raised to the third power is the dependent variable and all of the context variables are explanatory.

a

Prevalence of excess waist circumference (≥80 cm for women).

b

Annual growth rate for the geodemographic units. This value represents the growth in the total value of the goods and services produced in the geodemographic unit.

c

Defined as the number of cases of intrafamily abuse in which women are victims/total number of women of childbearing age.

d

Based on factor analysis with z-scores centered.
