Table S1 (a): Component loadings for the 3 main dietary patterns (DPs) identified using principal components analysis (PCA) of FFQ data from the Indian Migration Study. Table S1(b): Socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics of the Indian Migration study participants in the first (T1) and third (T3) tertiles of the three dietary patterns (N=7067). Table S2 (a): Multivariable-adjusted linear associations (beta co-efficient, 95% confidence interval) of ‘animal food’ pattern with cardio-metabolic risk factors by four different regions of the Indian Migration Study. Table S2 (b): Multivariable-adjusted linear associations (beta co-efficient, 95% confidence interval) of ‘animal food’ pattern with cardio-metabolic risk factors by different locations of the Indian Migration Study. Table S2 (c): Multivariable-adjusted linear associations (beta co-efficient, 95% confidence interval) of ‘animal food’ pattern with cardio-metabolic risk factors by different standard of living (SLI) of the Indian Migration Study.Table S3: Multivariable adjusted* associations (beta co-efficient, 95% confidence interval) of daily consumption of individual animal food components in tertiles (fish /red meat/poultry/eggs) with cardio-metabolic risk factors of the Indian Migration Study participants (N=7067).
