---|---|---|---|---|
Quartile 1 (< 15.2 g/day) | Quartile 2 (15.2–28 g/day) | Quartile 3 (28–43.7 g/day) | Quartile 4 (> 43.7 g/day) | |
Cases/control (total) | 33/217 (250) | 31/219 (250) | 46/203 (249) | 85/164 (249) |
Model 1* | 1.00 (Ref) | 0.95 (0.56–1.61) | 1.49 (0.91–2.45) | 3.42 (2.16–5.43)‡ |
