  1. Multiple analysis according to the Poisson regression model with robust variance. Prevalence ratio (PR) was the effect measure with its respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The model was adjusted for sex and age including independent variables (with p < 0.20 in the bivariate analysis). Bold p-values denote statistical significance (p < 0.05); a Irregular consumption (< 5 days in the previous 7 days); b Regular consumption (at least 5 days in the previous 7 days)
