Estimated using logistic regression, Q1 is reference, adjusted for age, sex, BMI, energy intake, relationship status, physical activity, level of education, the socio-economic index for areas (SEIFA), diabetes and self-reported prevalence of CVD. DF, dietary fibre; MCS, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale—Australian norm-based mental component score median; RS, resistant starch.
