a

Simple model testing each dietary variable individually only controlling for mean-centered age in 2005 (in months), sex, the interaction between age and sex, ten principal component scores of genome-wide data, and mean-centered average kilocalories from 1994 to 2005.

b

Fully-adjusted model testing each dietary variable individually controlling for all in Model 3A in addition to log-transformed average inflation-adjusted income from 1983 to 2005, average urbanicity score from 1983 to 2005, and smoking status (current, former, and never smoker).

c

Fully-adjusted model testing interaction between individual dietary variables and average BMI z-score from 1991 to 2005.

d

Fully-adjusted model testing all dietary variables together in the same model.

e

All p-values are raw, unadjusted p-values. Significance levels in these models are set at an adjusted alpha value of 0.0071.
