Bold estimates are statistically significant (p<0.05).
Model 1 was adjusted by sex, age, education level and socioeconomic status.
Model 2 was adjusted for sex, age, education level, socioeconomic status, daily smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, TV watching for 2+ hours per day, transport-related physical inactivity, fried food consumption and high-sugar beverage consumption.
Model 3 was adjusted for sex, age, education level, socioeconomic status, daily smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, TV watching for 2+ hours per day, transport-related physical inactivity, fried food consumption and high-sugar beverage consumption, body mass index and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
