Data expressed as odds ratios (95% confidence intervals). Models were adjusted for sex, age, BMI categories, and number of diagnosed diseases. IPI: inadequate protein intake; Model 1: inadequate protein intake per meal considered as <30 g protein/meal; Model 2: inadequate protein intake per meal considered as <0.4 g protein/kg/meal. Significant association ().
