| Tea consumption | No. (%) | OR (95% CI) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | Neurocognitive disorder | Unadjusted | Adjusted | |
| No | 297 | 33 (11.1) | 1 [reference] | 1 [reference] |
| Yes | 660 | 39 (5.9) | 0.50 (0.31 – 0.82) | 0.50 (0.28 – 0.87) |
| Level of tea intake | ||||
| Low | 176 | 15 (8.5) | 0.75 (0.39 – 1.42) | 0.65 (0.31 – 1.36) |
| Medium | 261 | 12 (4.6) | 0.39 (0.19 – 0.76) | 0.36 (0.16 – 0.78) |
| High | 223 | 12 (5.4) | 0.46 (0.23 – 0.90) | 0.54 (0.25 – 1.20) |
| Type of tea | ||||
| Black/Oolong tea Green tea1 | 390 | 26 (6.7) | 0.57 (0.33 – 0.98) | 0.53 (0.29 – 0.98) |
| Green Tea | 270 | 13 (4.8) | 0.41 (0.21 – 0.78) | 0.43 (0.20 – 0.95) |
For level of tea intake: unadjusted model, P for linear trend=0.004; Adjusted model, P for linear trend=0.025; Odds Ratios and 95% confdence intervals were calculated using multiple logistic regression; Variables that were adjusted for in the model are: age, gender, education, smoking, Alcohol consumption, BMI (continuous), Hypertension, Diabetes, Heart disease, Stroke, Depression (GDS ≥5), APOE ɛ4, Physical activities, social and productive activities, vegetables and fruits consumption, fsh consumption, coffee consumption.
