Interactions in longitudinal associations between impulsivity and dietary pattern scores by intervention group (n = 438). Abbreviations: CG, Control group; IG, Intervention group; Med, Mediterranean diet, ERMed, Energy-Restricted Mediterranean diet; Portfolio, Portfolio diet; MIND, Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. Impulsivity was assessed using the UPPS-P Impulsive Behaviour Scale. Linear mixed models were used to assess associations and Beta coefficients were multiplied by 100, with robust variance estimators to account for intracluster correlations. Only significant interactions by intervention group were shown. Associations were adjusted by sex, age (years), intervention group, education level (primary school or less; higher school or college), civil status (single, divorced, separated or widower; married) and smoking status (never smoked; former or current smoker) at baseline, whereas physical activity (MET min/week), body mass index (kg/m.2), alcohol intake (g/d, adding the quadratic term), and energy intake (kcal/d) were considered using data at each time-point. Unless in the control group for Portfolio diet, all significant associations remained significant after Benjamini–Hochberg correction. CG, n = 219; IG, n = 219
