a

Numbers may not sum to total because of missingness.

b

Models were fit in 50 imputed datasets, pooled using Rubin’s rule, and adjusted for age at reference date, race/ethnicity, education level, and Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC) study.

c

P value for interaction using a likelihood ratio test.

d

P value for trend was calculated by fitting the categorical variable as an ordinal variable.

e

Models were fit among participants in studies conducted in Australia and the United States only.
