a Weight (kg)/height (m)2.

b Hazard ratio for continuous increments of intake, calculated by dividing the energy-adjusted intake (except glycemic index) by the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles.

c Adjusted for age at completion of the Diet History Questionnaire (years), body mass index (continuous), age at menarche (<12, 12–13, or ≥14 years), age at menopause (<50 years vs. ≥50 years), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Asian, or other), oral contraceptive use (ever/never), and energy intake (calculated by the nutrient density method, except for glycemic index, and including log kcal/day in the model).

d Estimated by means of the Wald test.
