The intercept term includes the adjustment to the mean age, follow-up duration, and reported intakes of meat, fish, fruit, and alcohol. Additional adjustment for physical activity (average km/week and Δkm/week) where indicated. Significance levels for logistic regression coefficients are coded

^*P < 0.05,

^**P < 0.01,

^***P < 0.001,

^†P < 0.0001.
