Figure 2.

Graphic presentation from multivariable-adjusted general linear models of the longitudinal relationship between baseline intakes of (a) FV combined, (b) fruits, (c) vegetables, (d) DF from FV, (e) RS from FV, in g/day, with 5 year MCS scores in 5845 Australian adults from the AusDiab study. Models were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, energy intake, relationship status, physical activity, level of education, the socio-economic index for areas (SEIFA), diabetes and self-reported prevalence of CVD. The blue shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals, the rug plot along the bottom of each graph represents each dietary intake observation. DF, dietary fibre; FV, fruit and vegetables combined; MCS, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale—Australian norm-based mental component score median; RS, resistant starch.
