  1. Unadjusted model: no covariates were adjusted
  2. Model I: Age, PIR, BMI, race, dietary calcium intake and alcohol consumption were adjusted
  3. Mode II: Age, PIR, BMI, race, dietary calcium intake, serum or plasma cholesterol, alcohol consumption, education status and marital status were adjusted
