*Regression coefficients represent the variation in mental or physical component scores for a one standard deviation change in MDS, IMI or dietary patterns.
**p for trend values obtained from fully adjusted model for age, sex, BMI, total energy intake, total physical activity, education, income, total socioeconomic status, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia.
