Abbreviations: SFA, saturated fatty acid; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; GI, glycemic index; PA, physical activity; * The odds ratio adjusted for age; ** The odds ratio adjusted for age and BMI; *** The odds ratio adjusted for age, BMI, CRP, LDL-C, total fat intake, glycemic index, work/school physical activity and leisure time physical activity; **** Variables included in the model as independent variables; ***** Due to a very strong correlation between SFA, MUFA, PUFA and total fat intake, AOR for SFA, MUFA and PUFA were calculated in the model excluding total fat intake as an independent variable. All the p-values marked in bold were statistically significant.
