The dietary routines were surveyed and evaluated utilizing a multivariate analysis approach. Determined and organized were 3 dietary patterns, WESTERN identified by high consumption of meat, sugar, and fine-tuned grains; FRUIT/VEGETABLES defined by high consumption of cruciferous veggies and fresh fruits; DRINKER defined by high consumption of red wine, beer and alcohol.
