Model 1: Adjusted for age (at time of blood sample collection for telomere), sex, education, ethnicity, and caloric intake. Model2: Adjusted for age (at time of blood sample collection for telomere), sex, education, ethnicity, caloric intake, smoking status, and leisure/physical activities. Model 3: Adjusted for age (at time of blood sample collection for telomere), sex, education, ethnicity, caloric intake, smoking status, leisure/physical activities, VHS, cognitive status, and functional status. All food components of MeDi were included in the model simultaneously; no ethnicity in the ethnic-stratified analysis. Comparisons for the estimated β (p) were above median vs. below median for fruits and nuts, vegetables, fish, legume, cereal, MUFA/SFA, nuts, and whole grain cereals, were below median vs. above median for dairy and meat intakes, and were moderate vs. others for alcohol intake
aFood components of MeDi were entered into models simultaneously
