Notes: Multivariable regression analyses were adjusted for sex, age, education level (primary and lower, junior, senior, college and higher), physical activity level (light, moderate, and heavy), smoking status (never, current, and former), BMI, and total energy intake. Q4, the highest quartile of dietary patterns; Q1, the lowest quartile of dietary patterns (reference). Smoker was defined as one who smokes more than 10 cigarettes per week for more than 6 months. Former smoker was defined as one who stopped smoking for more than 6 months. Drinker was defined as one who drinks at least once a week, for more than 6 months.
