Model 1: adjusted for age

Model 2: multivariable model additionally adjusted for sex (male/female), race and ethnicity (non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, non-Hispanic White, other race or ethnicity [including American Indian/Alaska Native/Pacific Islander, Asian, multiracial]), education level (< high school, high school, > high school), BMI (< 25, 25-29.9, > 30), waist circumference, marital status (married, divorced, unmarried), smoking status (never, former, current), alcohol use (never, ever, mild, moderate, heavy) and Healthy Eating Index-2015 score, family poverty income ratio (< 1.30, 1.30–3.49 or > 3.5), hypertension (yes/no), history of diabetes (yes/no), hypercholesterolemia (yes/no), cardiovascular disease (yes/no) and history of cancer diagnosis (yes/no)

Model 3: additionally adjusted for physical activity (PA)

a Q0 means non-coffee consumers

b Coffee consumption(g/day) of coffee drinkers was divided into three groups (Q1, Q2 and Q3) by quartile. Q1, Q2 and Q3 are < 326, 326–540, > 540, respectively
