1 Regression coefficients (95%CI) obtained from a model controlled for age, sex and energy intake. 2 Regression coefficients (95%CI) obtained from a model controlled for age, sex, energy intake, body mass index, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, educational level, hormone replacement therapy, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, leisure-time, menopausal status, physical activity, smoking habit and dietary fiber (g/d). FRAP = ferric-reducing antioxidant power (mmol Fe2+). TEAC = trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (mmol Trolox). TRAP = radical-trapping antioxidant parameter (mmol Trolox).
