In the Research Article “Long-term Dietary Flavonoid Intake and Subjective Cognitive Decline in US Men and Women” by Yeh et al.,1 there were errors in the labels of Figure 4. The y-axis for both the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study graphs should have been labeled “OR (95% CI),” and the middle sections should have been labeled “Average intake.” For the NHS graph, the x-axis should read “1984–2006” under Average intake and “1984–1990” under Mutually adjusted intake. See the corrected figure below. The publisher regrets the errors.
Multivariate model: Nurses' Health Study (NHS): adjusted for age, total energy intake, Census tract income, education (registered nursing degrees, bachelor degree, master or doctorate degree), husband's education (high school or lower education, college, graduate school), race (White, Black, other), smoking history (never, ≤4 pack-years, 5–24 pack-years, >24 pack-years), depression, physical activity level (metabolic equivalent-hours per week, quintiles), body mass index, family history of dementia, vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E supplementation use (yes/no), intakes of alcohol, postmenopausal status and hormone replacement therapy use, missing indicator for subjective cognitive decline (SCD) measurement at 2012 or 2014, number of dietary assessments during 1984 to 2006, multivitamin use (yes/no), parity (nulliparous, 1–2, >2), and intakes of total carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and long-chain omega-3 fatty acid. Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS): adjusted for age, total energy intake, smoking history (never, ≤24 pack-years, 25–44 pack-years, ≥45 pack-years), cancer (yes/no), depression, physical activity level (metabolic equivalent-hours per week, quintiles), body mass index, multivitamin use (yes/no), intake of alcohol, family history of dementia, profession (dentist, pharmacist, optometrist, osteopath, podiatrist, veterinarian), percentage of energy intake from dietary total protein (quintiles), missing indicator for SCD measurement at 2008 or 2012, number of dietary assessments during 1986–2002, and intakes of total carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and long-chain omega-3 fatty acid. OR = odds ratio. aComparing 90th to 10th percentile of flavone intake.
