Fig 2 — Proportion of life expectancy spent with Alzheimer’s dementia according to categories of lifestyle score in women and men. Proportion is computed by dividing life expectancy lived with Alzheimer’s dementia by total life expectancy at a given age (supplementary tables 2 and 3). A behavior was classified as low risk or healthy if it met several criteria: Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay—MIND score (without alcohol) >7.5, corresponding to upper 40% of cohort distribution; cognitive activity score >3.43, corresponding to upper 40% of cohort distribution; not being a current smoker; moderate or vigorous exercise for ≥150 min/week; and light to moderate alcohol consumption (1-15 g/day for women and 1-30 g/day for men)
