β=beta coefficient from the model for the interaction term between MIND diet score and time

**

n=total number of participants with complete data for model

Basic model includes age at the first cognitive assessment, Mind diet score, sex, education, participation in cognitive activities, APOE-ε4 (any ε4 allele), smoking history (current, past, never), physical activity hours per week, total energy intake, time and interaction terms between time and each model covariate

±

Basic model plus history of stroke, myocardial infarction, diabetes, hypertension and interaction terms between each covariate and time
