Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, smoking, physical activity and energy intake. Separate models were developed for each dietary pattern and weight category. Dietary adherence categories are based on lowest and highest tertiles. Weight categories were based on BMI (normal: 18.5–<25 kg/m2; overweight: 25–<30 kg/m2; obese: ≥30 kg/m2).
BMI, body mass index.
