a Based on multiple linear regression analysis; the model included a continuous variable with the median value of dietary pattern score within each tertile category. b Partial regression coefficient associated with an increase in 1 category of dietary pattern score (95% confidence interval; 95% CI). c Number of subjects. d Adjusted for study area (10 areas), gender (men or women), age (years, continuous), total energy intake (kcal/day, continuous), physical activity (METs·h/day, continuous), alcohol consumption (never, former drinker, or current drinker consuming 0.1–22.9, 23.0–45.9 or ≥46 g ethanol/day), and smoking (never, former smoker, or current smoker consuming 1–19 or ≥20 cigarettes/day). e Geometric mean (95% CI). f Adjusted for all variables in Model 1 plus body mass index (kg/m2, continuous).
