Values are PR and 95% CI. PR are adjusted for age (in 10-y intervals), sex, modern lifestyle score, current smoking status (with an indicator for missing data), physical activity (total weekly hours), and total energy intake. Adjustment for dietary patterns did not appreciably alter the results

To test for trends across quintiles of dietary patterns, the median intake of each quintile was set to each subject in the same quintile and treated as a continuous variable in regression analyses.
