* Model 1: built between one health parameter (dependent variable) and one dietary pattern score (independent variable) each time with an adjustment for age, energy intake, Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, education level, Hong Kong ladder, community ladder, smoking status and alcohol use.
† Model 2: further adjusted for BMI, self-reported history of hypertension and the use of anti-hypertensive medications.
