  1. AEDII Anti-Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index, AHEI-2010 Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010, AMED Alternate Mediterranean Diet score, HPDI Healthful Plant-based Diet Index, MET metabolic equivalent.
  2. Data are means ± standard deviations, or N (%).
  3. *Educational levels were classified as low for 0-5 years, intermediate for 6-12 years, and high for ≥13 years.
  4. Genetic risk score was calculated for longevity was calculated using 78 single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
