¹RR (95% CI) adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, total energy intake.

²RR (95% CI) adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, total energy intake, income, education, smoking, alcohol intake, family history of diabetes, use of postmenopausal hormone therapy, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, BMI, and physical activity.

³Linear trends were tested by using the median value of each category as an ordinal variable.
