^aAfter generating each CR variable, we standardized them to enable comparison of findings across the two CR measures.

^bLinear regression models adjusted for sex, education (continuous, years), age at first diet assessment (continuous, years), and total energy intakes (continuous, kcal/day).

^cAdditionally adjusted for smoking status (never vs. former or current), number of depressive symptoms (continuous), number of medical conditions (continuous), physical activity (continuous, hours/week), and frequency of participation in cognitively stimulating activities (continuous) at the first dietary assessment.
