a

Associations are expressed as β coefficient (standard error) except where noted.

b

See text and Web Appendix 1 for details on alternative methods used for identifying likely underreporters, plausible reporters, and overreporters.

c

Both models included adjustment for age, study center, height, activity level, educational level, smoking status, season, alcohol intake, parity, diabetes, and use of special diets. In each model, results were additionally adjusted for all dietary variables shown.

d

Coefficient (standard error) for smoking × fruit intake tertile interaction term. The body mass index-fruit intake association in smokers was obtained by summing the 2 β coefficients. Coefficients for the relation between body mass index and current smoking in women ranged from −1.26 (standard error, 0.10) to −1.39 (standard error, 0.10) in different models.
