Table 4.

Cox regression analysis for the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality according to the MIND diet score among all patients.

Model Per one-score increase in the MIND diet score HR (95% CI) MIND diet score HR (95% CI)

Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, and race/ethnicity;

Model 2: further adjusted (from Model 1) for education level, family income to poverty ratio, smoking status, BMI, and physical activity;

Model 3: further adjusted (from Model 2) for diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, energy intake, and eGFR.

Low MIND score, the MIND score ≤ 8; High MIND score, the MIND score > 8.
