Total number of observations used for the logistic regression is 2980. In addition to the reported variables, the model controls for the following: income levels, nationality, level of cholesterol, level of education, gender, age (grouped in 5 ten-year groups), consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as exercise patterns. †Odds ratios adjusted for all variables included in the model. ***significant at 1%, **significant at 5%.
