All values are odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex and energy intake; Model 2: Further adjustment for physical activity, smoking, marital status, education, household size, house possession, diabetes, use of anti-depressant medications and dietary supplements; Model 3: Additional controlling for dietary intakes of fat, n-3 fatty acids, iron, thiamin.
