a CVH: cardiovascular health; AHA: American Heart Association; BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; LS7: Life’s Simple 7; SBP: systolic blood pressure; SE: standard error; WC: waist circumference; b Models were adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, health insurance, and physical activity. For AHA LS7 score, models were adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, and health insurance; c Additional adjustment for BMI slightly attenuated magnitude of NFD with DBP associations but not their statistical significance. Specifically, BMI-adjusted results were the following: cross-sectional associations of NFD with DBP at 1 y (β(SE) = 0.98 (0.40), p = 0.017); prospective associations of baseline NFD with DBP at 1 y (β(SE) = 1.59 (0.62), p = 0.011).
