  1. CI Confidence Intervals, OR Odds Ratio.
  2. Main model: adjusted for sex, age, educational level, occupational status, monthly household income, smoking status, physical activity, number of 24-hour dietary questionnaires, and dietary energy intake.
  3. Significant values are in bold.
  4. 1P-value based on multivariable linear regression with mindful eating as a continuous independent variable and food intake as continuous dependent variables.
  5. 2Plant-based Diet Index score (PDI), healthy Plant-based Diet Index (hPDI), and unhealthy Plant-based Diet Index (uPDI) range from 18 to 90, higher scores respectively correspond to a higher plant-based food consumption, healthy plant-based food consumption, and unhealthy plant-based food consumption.
  6. 3P-value based on polytomous logistic regression with mindful eating as a continuous independent variable and food intake as a categorical dependent variable.
