Model 1 adjusted for age and sex

Model 2 adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, and DASH score (continuous)

Model 3 controlled for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, and DASH score quintiles

Model 4 controlled for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, alcohol intake, exercise, and components of DASH score
