Abstract
In nutritional epidemiology, it is often of interest to disentangle the risk of disease associated with related foods or nutrients, where the food items are in a nested arrangement within a larger group. To compare odds ratios (OR) derived from a standard quantile-based analysis can be misleading since the amounts consumed may differ substantially for different dietary components.
