  1. Association of dietary glycaemic parameters and their interaction terms with gender with 5mC and 5hmC. Note: as per interaction analysis output, we report Beta (SE) and p of the index-by-gender (men) interaction term, as well as the Beta (SE) values of the association in women. Associations Beta values in men can be computed by summing the two Betas
