Fig. 2: Association between tea consumption and the risk of incident dementia.

In both adjusted models, tea consumption was associated with a reduced risk of dementia (model 1: HR = 0.819 [95% CI:0.760-0.884]; model 2: HR = 0.841 [95% CI: 0.767–0.921]). Moderate consumption (1–6 cups/day) of tea exerted significant protective effects. P values were computed by Cox proportional hazard regression. Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex and ethnicity. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, TDI, education, BMI, typical sleep duration, smoking status, alcohol status, total consumption of vegetables, total consumption of fruit, total consumption of fish and APOE4 status. HR Hazard ratios, CI Confidence interval, TDI Townsend deprivation index, BMI Body mass index, APOE4, apolipoprotein E4.
