Bivariate exposure-response functions for the relationship of fruit and whole-grain consumption with risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease while all of the other dietary components were fixed at the 50th percentile (median) among men in the CARDIA Study, 1985–2006. The solid, short-dashed, and long-dashed lines represent the dose-response functions when the second dietary factor was fixed at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, respectively. A) Dose-response function for fruit intake when whole-grain consumption was fixed at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles; B) dose-response function for whole-grain intake when fruit consumption was fixed at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
