PY = person years.
Adjusted for age, body mass index, alcohol (g/day), physical activity, smoking, postmenopausal status (yes or no), and family history of myocardial infarction in parent <60 years-old (yes or no).
Adjusted for the above variables plus marital status and the alternate healthy eating index score excluding nuts.
