AUC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CI, confidence interval; C-index, concordance index; MFA, monounsaturated fatty acid; OC, oral contraceptive; PFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid; SFA, saturated fatty acid; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.

*Topmost predictive variables were selected on the basis of random survival forest analysis with a multimodal approach.
