And to all ladies who have posted that this study does not take alcohol into account:
'To ensure women in one study were compared directly only with similar women in the same study, analyses were routinely stratified by study, centre or region within study, age (<40, single years of age from 40 to 69, 70-74, 75-79 and 80-89), body mass index (BMI <25, 25-29, 30+ kg/m2; ‘lean‘ = <25 and ‘obese' = 30+ kg/m2); adjusted for family history (first degree relative with breast cancer, yes or no),
alcohol consumption (0, <10, 10+ g/week), and reproductive history (nulliparous, and, among parous women, by parity [1-2, 3+] and age at first birth [<20, 20-29, 30+ years]). They also allowed for age at menopause, but in a different way (see below), as this important information was not always available. For all stratification or adjustment factors the data provided by the principal investigators were used, with definitions as similar as possible across studies.'
