a

Incidence analyses were conducted among 1230 participants who were fibroid-free at enrollment and had at least one follow-up ultrasound.

b

Cox model with age as time scale (starting at age of enrollment), with no further adjustment.

c

Cox model with age as time scale further adjusted for time varying parity (0, 1–2 births, ≥3 births), years since last birth (within 4 years, ≥4 years ago including no births), years since last use of injection contraceptive (<2 years, ≥2 years/never), body mass index kg/m2 (<25, 25–<30, 30–<35, 35–<40, ≥40), current smoking (yes, no), household income (<$20,000, ≥$20,000). Twelve observations excluded from analyses due to missing data on at least one covariate.
