Parameters	Multiple Regression analysis
Model 1	R²	β	t	p value
EVOO	0.173	0.419	9.41	<0.001
Fish	0.225	0.244	5.36	<0.001
Fruit	0.241	0.140	3.13	0.002

At multiple regression analysis models, among adherence to the MD and single food items, T-score was well predicted by use EVOO, fish and fruit intake

EVOO, extra-virgin olive oil
