Parity, breastfeeding and risk of coronary heart disease: A pan-European case-cohort study

Conclusion
Having more children was associated with a higher risk of CHD later in life, whereas breastfeeding was associated with a lower CHD risk. Women who both had children and breastfed did have a non-significantly higher risk of CHD.
