  1. aModels were adjusted for age (years, continuous), highest education completed (middle school, high school, college education and above), ever smoked (no, yes), current alcohol use (no, yes), family history of breast cancer (no, yes), history of chronic disease (no, yes) and physical activity (MET-hours/week, continuous)
  2. bLDL-C was estimated from Friedewald’s equation. Clinical LDL-C and LDL-C are the same biomarker but refer to different definition methods [30]
