  1. Model 1 is adjusted for age and sex
  2. Model 2 is adjusted for age, sex, educational level (≤primary, secondary, or university), smoking status (never smoked, former smoker, or current smoker), alcohol intake (quintiles of g/day), energy intake (quintiles of kcal/day), BMI (<25, 25 < 30, ≥30 kg/m2), sedentary behavior (quintiles of hours/week watching television), and morbidity (cognitive impairment, osteomuscular disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, or depression)
  3. Model 3 is, additionally, adjusted for vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts, cereals, dairy, and fish consumption (quintiles of g/day)
