  2. aSpearman’s correlation of energy-adjusted dietary intakes (g/d) with circulating 15:0 or 17:0 (% of total fatty acids), partially adjusted for age, sex, total energy intake;
  3. b“Low total dairy” referring to subsample of patients with energy-adjusted total dairy intake below median intake of total sample and “high total dairy” to patients with energy-adjusted dairy intake at median intake or higher. Median energy-adjusted total dairy intake = 301 g/d
  4. c“Low dairy fat” referring to subsample of patients with energy-adjusted dairy intake below median intake of total sample and “high dairy fat” to patients with energy-adjusted dairy intake at median intake or higher. Median energy-adjusted dairy fat intake = 12.0 g/d
