a Dietary inflammatory index (DII®) score presented by quintile at baseline, which divided the DII® scores into five levels (Q1 to Q5). b Data are presented as hazard ratios (HRs) with correspondent 95% confidence intervals (CI). c Multivariate-adjusted for age, smoke, alcohol drinking, physical activity, BMI, family history of diabetes mellitus, family history of hypertension and energy intake. d p for trend values were determined using categorical DII® scores. p for heterogeneity between smoking and non−smoking for men and women participants using a likelihood test was <0.001, and <0.001 respectively. e No: never smoking, and yes: past/current smoking. Bold letters represents significance difference at p < 0.05.
