The minimally adjusted odds ratio (OR) was calculated adjusting by sex, age (as continuous variable) and educational level from a multivariate logistic mixed model.Area was used as random variable. The adjusted odds ratios were calculating taking into account the variables mentioned before and BMI, total energy intake, family history fist degree, race and METS. (N: Number; CI: Confidence Interval). Cut-offs are based on score criteria of Sofi’s Mediterranean Pattern [19]
