SFP, Spanish Food Pyramid; WC, waist circumference; EPIC, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition.
Risk estimates are presented for men and women combined as the main contributors to obesity (walking, sweets and snacks, butter and margarine) were the same in both sexes.
Adjusted for age (years), energy intake (kJ/d (kcal/d)), smoking status (never, former, current smoker), educational level (none, primary, secondary, professional school, university degree, missing), misreporting of energy intake (under-reporter, acceptable reporters and over-reporters) and sex.
