  1. * Quintiles of dietary selenium intake were adjusted for total energy intake using the residual method [20]
  2. Model 1: Adjusted for age, education, menopausal status
  3. Model 2: Adjusted for age, education, menopausal status, BMI, smoking (never, past, current), alcohol intake (abstainers, ≤ 12 g/day, > 12 g/day), energy intake (not from alcohol), saturated/polyunsaturated fatty acids ratio, animal proteins, total carbohydrates, and weight change between the baseline and follow-up examinations
  4. † Test for linear trend performed on median intake for each quintile
