… increases, respectively, above expected rates. Reproductive risk factors such as low parity and late age at first pregnancy are important risk factors in breast cancer. Reproductive risk factors are likely to affect the ‘birth-cohort’ incidence of breast cancer but the temporal effects of breast …
