Probability of remaining CVD-free (survival curves) at varying predetermined HEFI-2019 score percentiles in adults from the UK Biobank (n = 132,777). The probability of remaining CVD-free at the median HEFI-2019 score is the mean probability and hence is the reference survival curve in a hypothetical scenario where there is no change in the HEFI-2019 score in this population. Other curves reflect the probability of remaining CVD-free under hypothetical scenarios where all participants achieved HEFI-2019 scores corresponding to predetermined percentiles in this population. Estimates of survival probability were based on a fully adjusted Cox regression model using inverse probability weighting for exposure and censoring (see Methods for detail). The HEFI-2019 score was based on usual dietary intakes modeled using the National Cancer Institute multivariate algorithm (see Methods). The total HEFI-2019 score was modeled using a restricted cubic spline with 4 knots. CVD, cardiovascular disease; HEFI-2019, Healthy Eating Food Index-2019.
