Model 1, only significant pollutants, Model 2, significant pollutants with medical (history of breast disease, menopause statues, history of OCP use, and parity) and demographic (age, BMI, and smoking) risk factors, Model 3, significant pollutants with medical and demographic risk factors also with medicine and supplement use (metformin, aspirin, vitamin D, calcium). All models were non stepwise multivariable logistic regression. OR = Odds ratio, C.I = Confidence interval, NO2 = Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), SO2 = Sulfur dioxide, CO = Carbon monoxide, O3 = Ozone, PM = Particulate matter.
