HR = 1.11 (0.79-1.57; P = 0.28) for the highest vs lowest quartile of consumption. Amount specific data (g/day): < 4: HR = 1. 4-10: HR = 0.86 (0.65-1.13). 10-23: HR = 1.01 (0.75-1.37). > 23: HR = 1.11 (0.79-1.57). | Stratified by age at entry, sex and center. Adjusted for energy from fat, energy from non-fat, weight, height, history of diabetes, and smoking status.
