a
Glycemic load represents the overall glycemic effect of the diet based on an individual’s total carbohydrate intake.
b
Unadjusted means for dietary data represent the mean of the average dietary intake from multiple dietary recalls
c
sd = standard deviation
d
p-values for dietary data are from mixed models
