a

All models are adjusted for attained age, birth index, family history of breast cancer, and race.

b

Percentage differences (%Diff) represents one unit change in an adiposity measure associated with one unit change in Volumetric Percent Density, Dense Volume, or Non-dense Volume

c

Multivariable linear regression models were used to evaluate the associations of adiposity at age 10 with mammographic density measures. The p-values for body size compare each category to the reference category. The p-values for BMI test for trends
