  1. A general linear model was used for continuous variables. Values are expressed in means and confidence intervals, and were adjusted for age and sex. Age was adjusted for sex. EAT-Lancet index was adjusted for age, sex, and energy intake. Energy (kcal/d) was adjusted for age, sex, diet method version, and season. All other diet-related variables were adjusted for age, sex, diet method version, season, and energy intake. Cross tabulation was used for categorical variables, and values are expressed in percentages
