  1. Pooled cohorts (n = 167), EPIC-Italy (n = 94) and NSHDS (n = 73).
  2. Model 1 is adjusted for age and cohort in the overall BC population; for age and center in EPIC-Italy and age in NSHDS.
  3. β coefficient regression estimates inflammatory score’s (A) or PC1’s (B) difference in cases compared to controls.
  4. *Additional analyses stratified by time from blood collection to cases’ diagnosis included for ‘less than 6 years’ strata 49 BC cancer cases: 32 in EPIC-Italy and 17 in NSHDS; for ‘higher than 6 years’ strata 41 BC cancer cases: 17 in EPIC-Italy and 24 in NSHDS.
