  1. Data are hazard ratio (95% confidence interval); proportional hazard Cox regression was used
  2. Model 1 was adjusted for sex (men/women), age (years), body mass index (kg/m2), smoking (yes/no), physical activity level
  3. Model 2 was additionally adjusted for dietary intake of total energy (kcal/d), total protein (g/d), and total fiber (g/d)
  4. HR Hazard Ratio, CI confidence interval
