Model 1 was adjusted for age, gender, and race

Model 2 was adjusted for age, gender, race, and education levels, poverty, marital, smoking status, alcohol consumption

Model 3 was adjusted for the variables in model 2 plus hyperlipidemia, diabetes, BMI, fast total cholesterol, and HDL-C

aModel 3 at HEI-2015 adjusted for the variables in model 2 plus hyperlipidemia, diabetes, BMI, fast total cholesterol, HDL-C, and PA. Model 3 at PA level adjusted for the variables in model 2 plus hyperlipidemia, diabetes, BMI, fast total cholesterol, HDL-C, and HEI-2015
