Their cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). We defined a healthy lifestyle score on the basis of being non-smoking, performing \u2265210 min\/wk moderate\/vigorous-intensity physical activity, having light to moderate alcohol consumption, eating vegetables and fruits daily, having a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5\u201323.9 kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, and having a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) &amp;lt;0.90 for men and &amp;lt;0.85 for women, for an overall score ranging from 0 to 6.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with participants with \u22642 healthy lifestyle factors, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for participants with 4, 5, and 6 healthy lifestyle factors were 0.53 (95% CI, 0.29\u20130.98), 0.40 (95% CI, 0.21\u20130.75), and 0.36 (95% CI, 0.16\u20130.79), respectively.
