Note: The degrees of adherence to DAQS and DAI are categorized into two categories, “high” adherence and “low” adherence, based on the median intake.

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; DAI, dietary antioxidant index; DAQS, dietary antioxidant quality score; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acid; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid; SFA, saturated fatty acid.

a

Data presented as Mean ± SD.

b
