Model 1: age, sex, education (years)

Model 2: Model 1 + partner status, physical activity, smoking status

Bold: significant after correction for multiple testing

aIn the MDS these items are negatively scored, meaning that the direction of association is expected to be the opposite (OR < 1) of the other food groups
