1 Adjusted odds ratio (ORs) after adjusting for covariates including age, gender, residence areas, initial menstruation age, menopause, pregnancy experience, income, education, energy intake, smoking status, physical activity, WBC counts, alcohol intake, autoimmune diseases, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and allergy, seaweed intake, and survey year using logistic regression models. The values represent adjusted means ± standard errors2 for continuous variables or number (percentage) of the categorical variables3. The cutoff points: 5 <75th percentile intake of each dietary pattern and 5 physical exercises with moderate activity (3 times a week).
