β estimated interaction effect, SE: standard error, Pt: p value for trend, Pi: p value for interaction. Models adjusted for: age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, physical activity, schooling, socio-economic level, smoking, consumptions of fruit, vegetables, sugar, processed meat, and alcoholic beverages, and Amerindian ancestry, n = 2828. p values in bold are significant (p < 0.05).
