*Adjusted for age (5-year categories), BMI (continuous), family history of diabetes, alcohol intake (none, 0.1–4.9, 5–14.9, and 15+ g/day), smoking status (never, past smoker, current 1–14, current 15–24, and current 25+ cigarettes/day), and moderate/vigorous exercise (0–0.9, 1–1.9, 2–3.9, 4–6.9, and 7+ h/week) (updated variables).
The dietary score is the sum of quintile values for cereal fiber, ratio of polyunsaturated fat to saturated fat (ascending order), glycemic load, and trans fat (descending order). A higher score indicates a healthier diet (updated variables).
