The CECILE study, France, 2005–2007.

*HR-positive: Hormone receptor positive tumors, i.e. (ER-positive or PR-positive) and HER2-negative.

HER2-positive regardless of the ER or PR status.

TN triple negative (ER-negative and PR-negative and HER2-negative).

p-trend determined from the model using the median value in each quartile as a continuous variable.

Odds ratios adjusted for study area, age at reference date, history of benign breast, family history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives, age at menarche, parity, age at first full-term pregnancy, breast feeding, menopausal status, current use of hormone therapy, oral contraceptive use and body mass index.
