1 Data from three cycles of NHANES, 2007–2008, 2009–2010, and 2011–2012, were concatenated into one analytic data file, NHANES 2007–2012. Values are presented as OR (95% CI) obtained from multivariable logistic regression. 2 Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, and energy intake. Model 2 was further adjusted for race, education, income, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity. Model 3 was further adjusted for BMI. 3 p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. 4 Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence intervals; FPSM, fats–processed grains–sugars–meats; ONPL, oils–nuts–potatoes–low-fat meat; OR, odds ratio; and FWVD, fruits–whole grains–vegetables–dairy products.
