All values are HRs (95% CIs). Values were derived from proportional hazards models adjusted as follows: model 1 included age (y), sex, race-ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, African American, Hispanic, and Chinese American), study center, and energy intake (kcal/d); model 2 included all variables in model 1 plus additional adjustment for education (<high school, high school, and >high school), alcohol intake (g/d), physical activity (active and sedentary leisure in metabolic equivalents-min per wk), BMI (in kg/m2), cigarette smoking (never, current, or former smoker and pack-years of cigarette smoking), dietary supplement use (>1/wk; yes or no), and use of cholesterol-lowering medication (yes or no); and model 3 included all variables in model 2 plus intakes of fruit and vegetables (servings/d) and energy-adjusted intakes of dietary fiber (g/d), dietary vitamin E (IU/d), trans fat, and PUFA (g/d). P-trend values were calculated by using median values of energy-adjusted nutrient quintiles as continuous variables in statistical models. CVD, cardiovascular disease; SF, saturated fat.
