* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001. 1: Basic model adjusted for age and screening date. Dietary factors were also adjusted for total energy intake. 2: Multivariable model adjusted for age, screening date, BMI, leisure-time physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking habits. Dietary factors were also adjusted for total energy intake. 3: Stepwise backward elimination linear regression analysis, in which all lifestyle variables and sucrose, fiber, protein and fat were simultaneously included. The model was adjusted for age, screening data and total energy intake. N.S. indicates an eliminated variable with p > 0.10. Abbreviations: Apo, apolipoprotein; BMI, body mass index; SFA, saturated fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
