1 Used the Asia-pacific criteria [19].
2 We did not adjust for any variables.
Model 1: Adjusted for age (continuous, years) and total energy intake (continuous, kcal/day). Model 2: Adjusted for covariates in the Model 1 + years of stay in Korea (0–4 years, 5–9 years, 10+ years), place of residence (urban, rural), and employment (employed, non-employed). Model 3: Adjusted for covariates in the Model 2 + parity (no children, one child, two children, three or more children), and history of breastfeeding (continuous, months).
