Results: In a regression model that controlled for gender, age, years of education, smoking, drinking, betel quid chewing, physical activity, leisure activity, intake of nutritional supplements (fish oil ＆ lecithin), and illness (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke) and other possible confounders, the cross sectional analy
