Model 1: Crude association. Model 2: Age and sex adjusted. Model 3: Adjusted further for age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, income:poverty ratio, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, fiber intake, dentist visits, body mass index, and waist circumference. Model 4: Adjusted further for protein intake, carbohydrate intake, total fat, total calories, fiber intake, and dentist visits, including the variables in model 3.
