  1. Values are expressed as mean (standard deviation). 1 n = 86 for age at first birth; n = 124 for free estradiol, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3; n = 121 for caffeine intake; and n = 123 for total energy intake. 2 n = 2 for age at first birth. 3 n = 8 for age at first birth. 4 n = 5 for age at first birth. 5 n = 25 for age at first birth and n = 7 for caffeine. 6Proportion of breast area occupied by dense tissue. 7Estimated by caffeine metabolic ratio (CMR; see text for details). BMI, body mass index; WHR, waist–hip ratio.
