RR, relative risk.
– indicates that no or insufficient evidence was found for the given association.
*Calculated for the relevant exposure level based RR estimates from Lock et al. (2004)( 10 ).
†Calculated for the relevant exposure level based RR estimates from Pereira et al. (2004)( 21 ).
‡Calculated for the relevant exposure level based RR estimates from Aune et al. (2011)( 22 ).
§Calculated for the relevant exposure level based RR estimates from Dong et al. (2011)( 23 ).
∥RR estimates for high v. low intake from Boyd et al. (2003)( 24 ), no increase in risk was assumed for moderate exposure.
