Model was adjusted by sex, age, education, occupation, region, drinking, smoking, physical activity, dietary supplement, season of blood drugs, BMI, and intakes of energy, saturated fatty acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid, and, dietary fiber, BMI was not included as a covariate when compared weight, BMI and waist circumference. Abbreviation: Serum 25(OHD), Serum 25-hydioxyutamin D; BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
