Model 1: Crude model. Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, race, education, smoking status, drinking status, PIR, and recreational activity. Model 3: Adjusted for Model 2 plus energy intake (kcal/day), CHOL, TG, HbA1c, uric acid, diabetes, hypertension, CVD, and months of blood collection. Model 4: Adjusted for Model 3 plus serum vitamin D.
