Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analyses change year with standardized values found that BMI gain strongly associated onset both (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.64–2.19) 1.95, 1.72–2.21). Increased waist circumference triglycerides also women. Lowering high-density lipoprotein cholesterol identified as risk factor Regarding characteristics, significantly negatively “often eating vegetables” 0.73, 0.57–0.93) soy products” 0.71, 0.58–0.88), even after adjusting other covariates.
