  1. P for trend (P1; unadjusted model test of trend using ANOVA with contrast function, P2; Significance level of test for trend association in adjusted linear regression model with adjustment for age (continuous); asset score (continuous); physical activity level (natural log transformed); dietary energy/kcal (continuous); woman education (categorical); husband education (categorical); occupation woman (categorical); occupation husband (categorical); marital status (categorical). In all multiple regression models, dummy variables were created for categorical covariates. To analyze the linear trends in the adjusted models, the median values of PSR, ∑ω-3/∑ω-6, h/H, AI, TI, LI and TF were imputed for each quintile and the new variables were treated as continuous variables in linear regression model. TF; percentage of energy obtained from dietary fat. P < 0·05 was considered statistically significant.
