Linear trend was calculated by treating median values across groups as a continuous variable in the model.

aModel 1 was adjusted for age at cognition assessment, sex, dialect groups, educational level and marital status.

bModel 2 was further adjusted for physical activities, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, sleep duration, total daily energy intake, tea drinking and AHEI-2010 score (excluding the item for nuts and legumes).

cModel 3 was further adjusted for physician-diagnosed history of diabetes, hypertension, CVD and cancer.
