aMM-type estimators for linear robust regression models, the betas represent the change in each outcome, where 1 unit is equivalent to a 1-SD difference in z scores, or a 1-unit difference in the MetS z-score or its components, per one point of dietary adherence to PVG food patterns, either in the continuous (per each 5 points of adherence) or quintiles form of the different PVG food patterns
bData were standardized
cp trend test for linear trend were conducted using the adherence to a uPVG food pattern quintile, Crude adjusted for energy intake multiple adjusted 1 additionally adjusted for sex and age, multiple adjusted 2 additionally adjusted for educational level, smoking status alcohol intake, and total physical activity per day
