¹Model 1 was adjusted for age (y) and sex (M or F) except sex strata. Model 2 was adjusted for age (y), sex (M or F) except sex strata, years of education (≤9, 10, or ≥11 y), smoking status (never, former, or current), smoking duration (y), physical activity (metabolic equivalent task hours/wk), and total energy intake (kcal/d).

²No P-interaction is shown because alcohol consumption was included in dietary pattern scores.
