  1. All values are odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Model 1: Adjusted for age, and energy intake. Model 2: More adjustments for physical activity, socioeconomic status, education, marital status, smoking status. Model 3: Further adjustments for dietary intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy, whole and refined grains. Model 4: More adjustment for BMI. Ptrend was obtained by the use of tertiles of legumes and nuts intake as an ordinal variable in the model.
  2. 1Legumes and nuts intake was adjusted for total energy intake based on residual method.
