β: standardized coefficients, SE: standard error, CI: confidence interval, R2: R square, DED: dietary energy density, TG: triglyceride, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, FBS: fasting blood sugar, HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, WC: waist circumference.

P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. P value obtained from Linear regression.

Model 1: Crude.

Model 2: Adjusted for age, sex, smoking, socioeconomic status, physical activity and energy.
