  1. a Values are hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs)
  2. b Model 1 adjusted for age at baseline, region, ethnicity and maternal education level
  3. c Model 2 adjusted for variables in model 1 and energy intake at baseline
  4. d Model 3 adjusted for variables in model 2 and BMI Z-score (continuous) at baseline
  5. e P for trends were tested with the quartiles of the three dietary pattern scores as continuous variables in the Cox proportional hazard regression models
