Table 4. Overall Adjusted Associations for Diet Quality Scores and Added Sugar With GrimAge2 Where Dietary Exposures Are Combined Among 325 Participants.
| Dietary exposure modela | Adjusted β (95% CI)b |
|---|---|
| Model 1: aMED and added sugar | |
| aMED score | −0.29 (−0.58 to −0.00)c |
| Added sugar, g | 0.02 (0.00 to 0.03)c |
| Model 2: AHEI-2010 and added sugar | |
| AHEI score | −0.03 (−0.07 to 0.01) |
| Added sugar, g | 0.02 (0.00 to 0.03)c |
| Model 3: ENI and added sugar | |
| ENI score | −0.12 (−0.25 to 0.01) |
| Added sugar, g | 0.02 (0.00 to 0.03)c |
Abbreviations: AHEI-2010, Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010; aMED, Alternate Mediterranean Diet; ENI, Epigenetic Nutrient Index.
Each dietary exposure model consisted of 1 diet quality score measure (aMED, AHEI-2010, or ENI) (1) plus added sugar (1).
Adjusted for current age, sample batch, naive CD8 and CD8pCD28nCD45Ran memory and effector T-cell counts, race (Black or White), ever diagnosis of a chronic condition, current medication use, baseline (age 9-10 years) household income, baseline (age 9-10 years) highest parental educational attainment, number of parents in household at baseline (age 9-10 years), number of siblings at baseline (age 9-10 years), body mass index at midlife, mean total kilocalories, and ever smoking status assessed at midlife (yes or no).
Statistically significant result (P < .05).
