Figure 2. Distribution of DNAmAge/AgeAccelDiff/IEAA by selected BC-risk factors. By BMI, (AC); HEI-2015, (DF); SMK, (GI); ALC, (JL). (ALC, dietary alcohol categorized by moderate drink (14 g); AgeAccelDiff, epigenetic age acceleration as departure of DNAmAge from chronologic age; IEAA, intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration as residuals adjusted for cell composition; BC, breast cancer; BMI, body mass index; Cat, Categories; DNAmAge, DNA methylation–based marker of aging; HEI, healthy eating index; SMK, pack-years of smoking.)
