  1. 1 p values from a multivariate linear regression analysis with energy-adjusted food consumption (residual method) as the outcome and genotype (number of risk alleles) as a continuous predictor variable, controlled for age (Model 1)
  2. 2Additional controlling for total energy intake (kJ/day) and BMI (sex- and age-specific z score) (Model 2)
