FRS are expressed as mean (standard error). p values represent p for trends found via ANCOVA after adjusting for age, body mass index, job, alcohol intake, moderate physical activity, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Further adjustments were made for menopause, oral contraceptive use, and hormone replacement therapy in cases of women.
*p<0.05 in the comparison between rarely vs. daily, †p<0.05 in the comparison between monthly vs. daily, ‡p<0.05 in the comparison between weekly vs. daily, §p<0.05 in the comparison between monthly vs. weekly.
