  1. To account for clustering by family, robust 95% CIs are reported
  2. LL log likelihood
  3. aAdjusted for log baseline age as a quadratic
  4. bAdjusted for history of benign breast disease, race/ethnicity, and education; stratified by year of birth (10-year groups) and study site
  5. cChange in LL from the base model that includes benign breast disease, race/ethnicity, and education
