HR, hazard ratio.

^*1736 individuals were excluded from the model due to censored or missing values.

^†All three foods in the same model adjusted for age, height, weight, gender, energy intake, physical activity, smoking, total Ca intake and health status.

^‡Seventy-seven individuals were not classified as vegetarians or non-vegetarians due to missing values.

^§ P value of χ ² difference of the likelihood ratio test between the full model (with all three foods) and the reduced model (without one of the three foods).
