Analysis by Cox proportional hazards model

Model 1: Adjusted by age, gender and BMI

Model 2: Adjusted by Model 1 variable and experience of falls in previous 6 month

Model 3: Adjusted by age, gender, BMI and Energy intake

Model 4: Adjusted by Model 3 variable and experience of falls in previous 6 month

Data in bold are p < 0.05

Non significant foods were excluded from the table for simplicity.
