1 n = 4319 for all models. Data presented are from multivariable-adjusted linear regression models. Model 1 included age and sex; model 2 further included educational level and income-to-poverty ratio; model 3 further included smoking status and physical activity; and model 4 added daily energy intake. **P < 0.001.
