  1. ORs and 95% CIs in subjects who eat 2 or fewer meals/day (MF ≤ 2) compared to those who eat three meals per a day (MF3) were calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis
  2. Model 1 adjusted for age and total calorie intake
  3. Model 2 adjusted for model 2 plus smoking, alcohol and physical activity
  4. Model 3 adjusted for model 3 plus income and education
  5. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval
