1 p values are from the comparison between cases and controls using multivariable mixed logistic regression. Bold p-values are < 0.01 with a relative difference above 5%. Models were adjusted for age, sex, energy intake, number of dietary records and season of dietary assessment (spring/summer or autumn/winter). RD: Relative difference in proportion between cases and controls. A positive relative difference shows higher intake of nutrients or foods groups in cases and a negative relative difference shows lower intakes in controls. SEM: Standard error of the mean, CVD: Cardiovascular diseases, CI: Confidence Intervals. 2 values are means for the estimates and 95% CI. 3: See Tables S1 and S2 for details on construction of the PNNS-GS score or the threshold which defined each recommendation.
