*Beta coefficient after adjustment has been made in each regression model; Model I: adjusted for age, sex, physical activity, smoking, height, serum total cholesterol (total-C), serum triglyceride and fasting glucose; Model II: Model I + energy intake (total energy intake, total carbohydrate intake, total fat intake, total protein intake); §Model III: Model II+ comorbidities (the presence of either CVD, arthritis, COPD, asthma or hypertension).
