Abbreviation: OR—odds ratio; CI—confidence interval. a Models are adjusted for sex, age, education wealth, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI, number of chronic conditions, vegetable consumption, and country with the exception of the sex-stratified analysis which was not adjusted for sex. b Models are adjusted for sex, age, education wealth, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI, number of chronic conditions, fruit consumption, and country with the exception of the sex-stratified analysis which was not adjusted for sex. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
