Abbreviations: PNNS-GS, Programme National Nutrition Santé Guideline Score; Q, quartile; 95% CI, 95% confidence intervalWC, waist circumference; HC, height circumference; WHR, waist to hip ratio; WHtR, waist to height ratio; TLR, trunk to leg ratio.
Values are geometric means (95% confidence interval) adjusted for age, energy intake, tobacco smoking, current diet practice, season of dietary data collection, occupational status, educational level.
P-value for linear trend across quartiles using contrast test
Multivariate linear regression models provide regression coefficients (β) for the difference in z-score of log-transformed variables for each 1 point increase in PNNS-GS. We used exponentiation so that each coefficient is interpreted as the percent change of the expected z-score of variable for the increase of 1 point in PNNS-GS.
Further adjusted for height.
