We excluded 5 participants with invalid censoring date.
A linear trend was tested across the dietary tertiles using the median score of each tertile modeled as a continuous variable.
Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, education, race–field center, and total calories.
Person-years presented in 1000 person-years.
Model 2 further excluded 693 participants with missing covariate information and adjusted for covariates in model 1 and apolipoprotein E ε4 status, alcohol use history, smoking history, activity level, body mass index, total cholesterol, prevalent coronary heart disease, and history of hypertension, diabetes, and stroke.
