  • *Twenty-nine parameters in model 1 were all variables in tables 14.

  • †Eight parameters in model 1 were deleted by p>0.10: age, educational level, annual income, monthly expenditure on food, physical activity time, vegetable, fruit, animal food, pure energy food, protein intake, iron intake, DBI_LBS, total energy intake, carbohydrate intake, transferrin, C-reactive protein.

  • ‡Parameters in model 3 were as follows: experience of food shortage, body mass index, albumin, total protein, ferritin, transferrin saturation, FEP/Hb ratio and soy food intake.

  • §Parameters in model 4 were as follows: experience of food shortage, body mass index, albumin, total protein, transferrin saturation, FEP/Hb ratio.

  • DBI_LBS, dietary balance index of lower balance score; FEP, free erythrocyte protoporphyrin.
