Linear trend was tested by treating the median values of quartiles or frequency of milk intake as a continuous variable

Multivariable model 1: adjusted for age, sex, dialect, year of interview, educational level, and marriage status;

Multivariable model 2: further adjusted for body mass index, physical activity, smoking status, alcohol use, baseline history of self-reported hypertension, diabetes, heart attack, and stroke, history of cancer, sleep status, and total energy intake;

§

Multivariable model 3: further adjusted for dairy, red meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits, tea, coffee, and soda;

**

Multivariable model 4: model 2 plus vegetable-fruit-soy (VFS) dietary pattern.
