The Framingham Nutritional Risk Score was analyzed as a repeated measurement using cumulative average diet.

2

Framingham Nutritional Risk Score: Overall nutrient risk score based on the consumption of 19 cardiovascular disease risk-related nutrients for each woman or man.

3

BMI was adjusted for age, WC, physical activity index, smoking status (non-smokers, smokers), hypertension treatment (yes/no), lipid treatment (yes/no), and among women, HRT (yes/no) and post-menopausal status (yes/no).

4

WC was adjusted for age, BMI, physical activity index, smoking status (non-smokers, smokers), hypertension treatment (yes/no), lipid treatment, (yes/no), and among women, HRT (yes/no) and post-menopausal status (yes/no).

5

All other outcomes were adjusted for age, BMI, WC, physical activity index, smoking status (non-smokers, smokers), hypertension treatment (yes/no), lipid treatment, (yes/no), and among women, HRT (yes/no) and post-menopausal status (yes/no).
