  1. *Exploratory dietary pattern scores were calculated at baseline and follow-up by summing the product of the standardized (mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1) food group weight and the individual’s standardized food group intake (score = ∑ (weight (x) *consumption (x) (g/d)) [24]; For the RRR analysis in 1985 means and standard deviations of that year were used. For Exploratory 1990 means and standard deviations of 1990 were used.
  2. +Confirmatory 1990 used standardized dietary intake data of 1990 and weights derived in 1985.Confirmatory 1985 used standardized dietary intake data of 1985 and weights derived in 1990.
