  1. 1 The regression models are adjusted for: age, intake of fresh fruits or vegetables, level of leisure time physical activity, income, education, smoking, frequency of alcohol intake and body mass index (BMI)
  2. 2 PRs for central obesity are given for the regression model excluding BMI
  3. 3 PRs for "Number of alcohol units (AU) on one occasion" are given for the regression model excluding "Frequency of alcohol intake"
