Therefore only results using the nutrient density method are presented.
Daily intake of red and white meats and fruits and vegetables were energy-adjusted using the nutrient density method [14].
The intakes of macronutrients and alcohol were adjusted for energy using the nutrient density method; hence, the energy content of each macronutrient/alcohol, expressed as a proportion of total energy (per 5% increase), was included in the model, together with total energy intake.
Nutrient intakes were adjusted for total energy intake using the nutrient residual method (Willett and Stampfer 1986).
All dietary variables were adjusted for total energy intake using the nutrient residual method as described by Willett [ 25] and log-transformed prior to calculation of the residuals.
FAs intakes were evaluated both as average intakes in grams per day (g/day) and as percentage of energy (%E) using the "nutrient density" method [ 27].
Multivariate regression models were further adjusted for macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, total fat) as a percentage of caloric intake, using the nutrient density method (Willett et al. 1997).
Nitrate and nitrite intake, as well as all other dietary variables, were adjusted for total energy intake and expressed as intake per 1000 kcal using the nutrient density method (Willett, 1998).
All intake variables were energy-adjusted using the nutrient density method (in g/1000 kcal/day) and were categorized into quintiles for individual meat types and meat-derived carcinogens and quartiles for meat cooking variables.
On the other hand, an increase in use of antihypertensive medication was seen over tertiles of total dietary fibre.> -wrap-foot> Varees are mean ± SD, median (IQR) or n aNutrient intakes were adjusted for total energy intake by using the nutrient residual method [ 31] HR and 95% CI for fatal and non-fatal CVD according to tertiles of SFA and per 10 g/day are shown in Table 2.
The antibacterial assessment was performed using the nutrient agar diffusion method and measuring the inhibition zones (cm).
