  1. BRI Quartiles: Q1 (1.07-3.71); Q2 (3.71-5.01); Q3 (5.01-6.66); Q4 (6.66-19.33). Model 1: no covariates were adjusted. Model 2: adjusted for gender, age and race. Model 3: adjusted for gender, age, race, ethnicity, education level, PIR, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, alcohol use, sleep duration, depression, MET, serum VD and daily dietary intake, including energy, protein, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, total fat, magnesium, selenium, caffeine. Table 2 shows that higher BRI is inversely associated with constipation; All values are presented as percentage (95% CI)
