1 Data are presented as β coefficients (95% CI) per 1 SD of the DBI-16 score. Apo, Apolipoprotein; DBI, Diet Balance Index; DBI-HBS, diet balance index-high bound score; DBI-LBS, Diet Balance Index-low bound scores; DBI-TS, Diet Balance Index-total score; DQD, diet quality distance; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol. 2 Associations between the DBI-16 scores and cardiometabolic risk factors were analyzed using multivariable linear regression models. In model 1, the data were adjusted for potential confounders, including age, sex, BMI. Model 2 included model 1 plus additional sociodemographic and lifestyle confounders, including cigarette smoking, education status, physical activity and total energy intake. * p < 0.05.
