- 321 (28%) of 1140 were LN+
- Percentage with LN+ by involution : None>Partial>Complete
- Number with LN+ by TDLU involution: Partial>None>Complete;
partial involution contributes 60% of LN+
- Data are independent of age

TDLU Counts by Age And Parity Status
Figueroa J Natl Cancer Inst 2014
Nulliparous women had fewer TDLUs than uniparous women: Premenopausal RR=0.79 (0.73-0.85) Postmenopausal RR=0.67 (0.56-0.79) Increasing births related to higher TDLU counts: Premenopausal ptrend = 0.01; Postmenopausal ptrend = 0.007
Pinteraction = <=0.001 Yrs Since Birth RR (85% CI) <5 1.00 5-9 0.59 (0.29-1.21) 10+ 0.43 (0.20-0.93) Ptrend = 0.03 TDLU Counts: Uniparous Women
Age at last birth is not recorded in studies
