Model 1 was adjusted for age, race, BMI groups (kg/m2), education level, exercise regularly (yes/no), current smoker (yes/no), current drinker (yes/no), and annual household income; model 2 was adjusted for total vitamin D (for the model containing calcium, magnesium quintile, Ca:Mg ratio quintile). Model 3 was adjusted for total calcium (model together with magnesium quintile), total calcium for the (model including magnesium quintile)

b

Model included the median value for each quintile consumption as a continuous variable.
