^aSensitivity analysis was conducted on the total population after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, total energy intake, physical activity, body mass index, diabetes, and hypertension as well as triglycerides

^bSensitivity analysis was conducted after excluding participants with hypertension and diabetes (n = 1329) and adjusting for age, sex, smoking, total energy intake, physical activity, and body mass index

^cSensitivity analysis was conducted after excluding certain population who was at stake for unstable creatinine concentrations including pregnant and lactating, extremes physical activity, body mass index less than 18.5 and higher than 40 kg/m^b (n = 1493) and adjusting for age, sex, smoking, total energy intake, physical activity, body mass index, diabetes and hypertension

^dTo calculate the trend of OR across increasing tertiles of each extracted dietary pattern, we considered the tertiles categories as continuous variables (median values)
