Although significant inverse found FLOBS in crude model 0.43; 0.19–0.96); association not fully adjusted 0.53; 0.22–1.27). Considering subtypes each score, relations for NOBS LOBS, but FOBS. This study suggests that higher OBS, particularly nutrient-based may be associated reduced Further research necessary validate these findings.
