*

Geometric mean and 95 % CI for LG10 transformed and back-transformed alcohol consumption variable, which was analysed with ANCOVA (Bonferroni corrections), adjusted for daily energy intake. All other variables were analysed unadjusted (χ2 test).

The lowest red and processed meat consumption quintile in the year 2017: cut-off point 54 g/d, excluding vegetarians.

The highest red and processed meat consumption quintile in the year 2017: cut-off point 160 g/d.
