We expressed protein, carbohydrate and fats as a percentage of total energy. Other nutrients treated as covariates were energy-adjusted using the regression method. All nutrients were categorized into quintiles of intake, and modeled categorically. Risk Ratios and 95% CI were estimated using Cox proportional hazards and modeled as a function of age with the lowest intake category as referent.
