Associations between 8-year change in flavodiet score and both all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were obtained from a pooled analysis (fixed-effects meta-analysis) of the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and are presented for an 8-year change in intakes of + 3 servings/day. Analyses are adjusted for age, time periods, ethnicity, change in smoking status, a family history of myocardial infarction, diabetes and cancer, multivitamin use, aspirin use, history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, baseline physical activity, change in physical activity, baseline BMI, change in BMI, baseline intakes of each flavonoid-rich food combined to create the flavodiet score, and both baseline and change in intakes of alcohol, total energy, meat, nuts, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, trans-fat, cereal fibre, and soft drink
