Table 5. Models for interaction of sex and dietary patterns on symptom clusters.

Dietary patterns × sex	Coef (95% CI)	P value	aCoef (95% CI)	P value
Cognitive-affective symptom cluster
Calorie-restricted × male	0.09 (−0.22 to 0.40)	0.558	0.09 (−0.23 to 0.40)	0.583
Nutrient-restricted × male	0.24 (−0.06 to 0.54)	0.120	0.40 (0.10 to 0.70)	0.010
Established dietary pattern × male	−0.58 (−1.14 to −0.03)	0.038	−0.23 (−0.77 to 0.32)	0.406
Somatic symptom cluster
Calorie-restricted × male	0.46 (0.14 to 0.79)	0.006	0.50 (0.15 to 0.85)	0.005
Nutrient-restricted × male	−0.16 (−0.58 to 0.27)	0.465	0.03 (−0.37 to 0.43)	0.879
Established dietary pattern × male	−0.26 (−0.77 to 0.26)	0.325	0.10 (−0.42 to 0.61)	0.710

Coef=unadjusted coefficient estimate (model including only the exposure variable), aCoef=adjusted coefficient estimate (model including exposure variable and all predefined covariates).

The reference level for dietary patterns is “not on a diet”, the reference level for sex is “female”,

P values <0.05 denote statistical significance.
