Values are expressed as mean (standard deviation). 1Premenopausal (pre): n = 86 for age at first birth, n = 120 for urinary malondialdehyde (MDA), and n = 121 for malondialdehyde–deoxyguanosine (dG-MDA). Postmenopausal (post): n = 117 for menopausal age, n = 97 for age at first birth, and n = 123 for dG-MDA. 2Pre: n = 2 for age at first birth. Post: n = 5 for age at first birth. 3Pre: n = 8 for age at first birth and n = 9 for dG-MDA. Post: n = 4 for age at first birth and dG-MDA. 4Pre: n = 5 for age at first birth. Post: n = 11 for menopausal age and n = 8 for age at first birth. 5Pre: n = 25 for age at first birth, n = 7 for urinary MDA, and n = 34 for dG-MDA. Post: n = 23 for age at menopause, n = 14 for age at first birth, n = 15 for urinary MDA, and n = 25 for dG-MDA. 6Proportion of breast area occupied by dense tissue. 7Estimated by caffeine metabolic ratio (see text for details).
