^a Daily value (DV) ranges include low (≤5% of the DV), medium (5.1–14.9% of the DV), and high (≥15% of the DV). ^b Predictor variables included for each nutrient are those that contributed to the best model fit according to the likelihood ratio test. ^c Dietary fibre, potassium and folate did not have any significant predictors and are therefore, not included. ^d OR: Odds ratio. ^e CI: Confidence interval. Adjusted for ^f education, ^g interest in overall health, ^h bean consumption status, and ^j sex. ⁱ The reference category used was “somewhat interested”, as no participants indicated being “not interested” in their overall health.
