Analyses were stratified by age (in month), calendar year, and cohort. MV model: adjusted for physical activity (<3.0, 3.0-8.9, 9.0-17.9, 18.0-26.9, 27.0-41.9, or ≥42 MET-h/week), cigarette smoking status (never, former quitting ≥10 y, former quitting <10 y, current), cigarette smoking pack-years (0, 1-4, 5-14, 15-24, or ≥25 pack-years), multivitamin use (yes or no), regular aspirin use (yes or no), regular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use (yes or no), postmenopausal hormone use (premenopausal, never, former, or current use) for women, and total energy intake (quintiles). Alcohol consumption (<5.0, 5.0-14.9, or ≥15.0 g/d) was adjusted for DASH, hPDI, and DRRD. For alternative major chronic disease, the model was additionally adjusted for family history of diabetes (yes or no), family history of cancer (yes or no), family history of cardiovascular disease (yes or no). For coronary heart disease and stroke, the model was additionally adjusted for family history of cardiovascular disease (yes or no). For obesity-related or smoking-related cancer, the model was additionally adjusted for family history of cancer (yes or no) and height (continuous).
