Values by quintile of three types of LCD score are mean ± SD (only quintile 1, 3, 5 values are shown). All values are in % kcal, except for dietary cholesterol in mg/1000 kcal. Trend P values are for the relationship between the variables listed on the left and quintile of the diet score, obtained by the “contrast” option for linear regression analysis, shown

Italic values indicate statistical significance at the 5 % level
