^*Sex-specific SD was used. AHEI = alternate healthy eating index-2010; aMED = alternate Mediterranean diet; BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; DASH = dietary approaches to stop hypertension; EDIH = empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia; EDIP = empirical dietary inflammatory pattern; EDIR = empirical dietary index for insulin resistance; HR = hazard ratio.

^†Case per person-years: 215 per 1 709 737 for women; 263 per 1 082 520 for men.

^‡Adjusted for age in years and cumulative average energy intake (continuous).

^§Additionally adjusted for cumulative average BMI (continuous).
