Multivariate-adjusted means of cardiovascular risk factors across tertiles of dietary phytochemical index determined by general linear model with adjustment for age, sex, total energy intake (kcal/day), physical activity (metabolic equivalent task/hour/week), body mass index (kg/m2), diabetes duration (year), insulin dose (unit/day), education and dietary supplement intake. LDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C were further adjusted for intake of saturated fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fatty acids, poly-unsaturated fatty acids, and trans fatty acid. SBP further adjusted for dietary intake of sodium (mg) and potassium (mg). LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, SBP systolic blood pressure
