LCMUFA, long-chain MUFA.
Values were derived by Cox regression analysis. The model was adjusted for age, sex, race (white or nonwhite), education (<high school, high school graduate, college graduate, or >college), smoking status (never, former, or current), exercise intensity (no exercise, low, moderate, or high), leisure-time physical activity (kcal/wk), 3-y weight change (kg), prevalent diabetes (yes or no), treated hypertension (yes or no), alcohol intake (tertile categories), total energy intake (kcal/d), and food consumptions (fish, high-fat dairy products, margarine, sweets, nuts, fried products, meats, and processed meats; servings/wk each). The 3 patterns were also mutually adjusted.
Regression calibration was applied to correct the estimates for bias as a result of temporal variation of the exposures (3 fatty acid patterns) and selected covariates (physical activity and dietary consumptions) after no significant nonlinear association was confirmed. The assumption of a linear association was met for each association (P-nonlinearity > 0.10) according to restricted cubic spline analyses that allowed a test for a nonlinear association.
