TLR2 indicates Toll‐like receptor 2.

^*Results were adjusted for age, year of visit, body mass index, total caloric intake, total vitamin C intake, total fiber intake, smoking status, household income, and physical activity.

^*In addition to all the covariates in the original model except total vitamin C and fiber intake, results were adjusted for total fruit and vegetable intake.
