a

Meta-analysis of subset I, II, and III.

b

Meta-analysis of all subsets. In subset IV, only targeted cancer cases and controls were included into the analyses.

Model 1, adjusted for age, sex, leukocyte composition, and batch.

Model 2, similar as model 1, additionally adjusted for educational level, smoking status (never smoker, former smoker, current smoker), alcohol consumption (grams per day), body mass index (kg/m2), and diabetes. Models for incident breast cancer were additionally adjusted for menopausal status and postmenopausal hormone use.
