A likelihood ratio test was performed.

Multivariate-adjusted model: further adjusted for baseline disease status (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes), BMI (< 20.9, 21-22.9, 23-24.9, 25-29.9, 30-34.9, ≥ 35 kg/m2), physical activity (< 3, 3-8.9, 9-17.9, 18-26.9, ≥ 27 MET-h/wk), overall dietary pattern (AHEI score, in quintiles), total energy intake (quintiles), sugar-sweetened beverages consumption (quintiles) and alcohol consumption (0, 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, ≥ 15 g/d). We additionally adjusted for menopausal status (yes vs. no), and postmenopausal hormone use (yes vs. no) for women. Caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee adjusted for each other.
