Overall associations of moderation-quantified healthy diet (MQHD) and alternative moderation-quantified healthy diet with coronary heart mortality risk comparing the top quartile with the bottom quartile^*

(Hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % confidence intervals)

Items	MQHD score				aMQHD score
Items	HR		95 % CI	P	HR		95 % CI	P
No. of deaths		53				58

aMQHD, alternative modified Mediterranean-style diet.

HR was estimated through frailty survival model. Multivariable-adjusted covariates included total energy intake (continuous), marital status (never, not married currently and married currently), years of education (continuous), BMI (continuous), modified Framingham Risk Score (continuous) and antihypertensives (yes/no).
