  2. aBreast cancer survivors were restricted to women diagnosed within 1 year prior to enrollment
  3. bAdjusted for age (years), menopausal status (premenopausal, postmenopausal), bilateral oophorectomy at age < 45 years (yes, no), body mass index (kg/m2), physical activity (MET-h/wk), smoking status (never, ever), alcohol intake (g/d), and hormone replacement therapy (never, ever)
  4. p(s) for the likelihood ratio test of the interaction between breast cancer status and time was 0.42 for age- and 0.44 for MV-adjusted models
