  1. Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, dietary assessment version (method), season, and total energy intake
  2. Model 2: adjusted for variables in model 1 plus leisure time physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and educational level
  3. Model 3: adjusted for variables in model 2 plus body mass index
  4. Model 4: adjusted for variables in model 3 plus diabetes, hypertension, and lipid-lowering medication
  5. 1Values are given as hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals within parentheses
  6. 2P for trend was calculated by assigning the categories of the EAT-Lancet diet index as the ordered categories
