Abbreviations: LS7, Life’s Simple 7; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; APOE-ε4, apolipoprotein E genotype ε4.

a

Interactions were tested by adding a product term between scores of LS7 component (continuous) and APOE-ε4 allele status (dichotomous) in the adjusted Cox regression model.

b

Cox regression models were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, cohort wave, calories intake, depression and APOE-ε4 allele status.

c

Cox regression models were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, cohort wave, calories intake and depression.

Values in bold mean statistically significant (p < 0.05).
