Models were adjusted for age (in years), educational attainment (primary education or less, junior high school, high school and attained further education) and household income (low, middle and high)

aResults are expressed per one-SD increase

bThe referent was those who drank less than once per month

cThe referent was those who didn’t smoke

dResults are expressed per 10 METs increase

eResults are expressed per 1000 kcal increase

fResults are expressed per 100 g increase

gThe referent was those whose body mass index was 24.0 or less

hHypertension was defined by either systolic pressure ≥ 140 mmHg, diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or self-reported antihypertensive medication

iDiabetes were defined by either hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% or fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL or self-reported diagnosis of DM

jHigher LDL was defined by LDL ≥ 130 mg/dL
