Data are presented as RRs (95% CIs) from survey Poisson regressions with adjustment for age, sex, study field centre, Hispanic/Latino background, education, annual household income, smoking status, drinking status (not for aMED-only metabolite score), total energy intake, physical activity, BMI, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and fasting time before blood sample collection
