visuospatial composite score and execute functioning score decreased with total fruit intake, however, these associations were no longer observed when whole fruit intake was analyzed independently.Furthermore, regression tree analysis (supervised machine learning technique) reinforced the role of refined grains, saturated fat, fruit, and dairy as the key predictors of cognitive performance.Conclusions: Specific dietary components such as refined grains, saturated fats, fruits, and dairy rather than the overall HEI score, were demonstrated to be the key predictors of the cognitive performance of older adults.
