Pearson’s partial correlations were adjusted for age, race, sex, and BMI. For deattenuated correlations, a mixed model was used to estimate the within- and between-subject variances. The mixed model included subjects as random effects and age, sex, race (black or nonblack), and BMI as fixed effects. For race-specific analysis, race was removed from the model. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (2-tailed). FFQ, food-frequency questionnaire; 24-HR, 24-h dietary recall.

For unadjusted and corrected correlations, the polyphenol intake from food groups was energy adjusted.
