Adjusted for sex and continuous age.

2

Adjusted for sex, categorical cigarette use, continuous age, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and total daily energy intake (kcal). Control: n = 174.

3

P values derived from tests for linear trends when vegetable, fruit, and vegetable and fruit servings were modeled in their continuous forms in models adjusted for age, sex, cigarette use, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and total daily energy intake (kcal).
