Multivariable models included age at baseline, race/ethnicity, BMI at baseline, height, family history of endometrial cancer, family history of breast cancer, history of oral contraceptive (OC) use, history of live births combined with breast feeding, and NSAID use.
Stable chronotype was defined as having the same chronotype reported on questionnaire 5 (post-menopause) as in teens and college years.
