  1. P for trends was calculated using logistic regression analysis
  2. AAAs Aromatic amino acids, SAAs Sulfuric amino acids, BCAAs Branched-chain amino acids
  3. a Adjusted for age and sex
  4. b Adjusted for model 1 and BMI, physical activity, smoking, SES, dietary intake of energy
  5. c Adjusted for model 2 and dietary fat and fiber
