A Correction on
Association between plant-based dietary patterns and dementia among Chinese older adults

by Xian, X., Chen, Y., Fu, Y., Chen, Z., Xiang, J., Han, Z., Zeng, L., Li, J., Wang, Y., and Shen, K. (2025). Front. Nutr. 12:1669647. doi: 10.3389/fnut.2025.1669647

There was a mistake in Figure 2 as published. Figure 2 in the main text was erroneously replaced with Supplementary Figure 1. The corrected figure 2 and its caption appears below.

Figure 2
Three graphs show odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals, each with a shaded area indicating variability. Graph A shows a decreasing trend in odds ratios with PDI; overall significance is less than 0.001. Graph B shows a similar decreasing trend with hPDI; overall significance is 0.007. Graph C shows a nonlinear trend with uPDI; overall significance is 0.008. The dashed line at odds ratio 1.0 indicates the null value.

Figure 2. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis for the associations of plant-based diet indices with dementia in the CLHLS main cohort (N = 9,360). (A) Overall Plant-based Diet Index (PDI); (B) Healthy Plant-based Diet Index (hPDI); and (C) Unhealthy Plant-based Diet Index (uPDI). Curves and shaded areas represent the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), respectively. All analyses were fully adjusted according to Model 3. P for overall indicates the P-value for the overall association, and P for nonlinear tests the nonlinear relationship.
