TABLE 2.

Fully adjusted linear regression models of MedDiet scores (MEDAS, MEDAS Continuous and Pyramid) with cognitive outcomes, MedDiet score, sex, age, education and APOE shown. Fully Adjusted Model: MedDiet Score, sex, age, education, family history, APOE, physical activity, smoking, sleep, body mass index, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycaemia, diabetes, stroke, antihypertensive medication use, diabetic medication use. AI, attention index; DMI, delayed memory index; FMT, Four Mountains Test; IMI, immediate memory index; LI, language index; m, male; RBANS, Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status; VCI, visuoconstructional index.
