Model 1 adjusted age, sex, education, urban and rural areas, and income; In model 2, smoking, drinking and physical activity levels were further adjusted based on Model 1. In Model 3, energy, dietary fiber and calcium were further adjusted based on Model 2. Model 4 further adjusted BMI on the basis of Model 3.
