Supplementary notes
* Relative risk compares the risk of disease among people with a particular 鈥渆xposure鈥 to the risk among people without that exposure. Relative risk for dietary factors compares the highest with the lowest consumption. If the relative risk is more than 1.0, then risk is higher among exposed than unexposed persons. Relative risks less than 1.0 indicate a protective effect.
