Values are means ± SDs. All means were significantly different between men and women, P ≤ 0.001, except for the changes in the aMED, by t-test. AEHI, Alternative Healthy Eating Index; aMED, alternate Mediterranean Diet score; DASH, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension; HEI, Healthy Eating Index.
2
Change = score at 10-y follow-up – score at baseline.
3
Change per 100 points = (score at 10-y follow-up – score at baseline) × 100/theoretical range. The theoretical range is 100 points for HEI-2015, 110 for AHEI-2010, 9 for aMED, and 32 for DASH.
