Notes: Linear mixed effects models to examine longitudinal association baseline PPI use and cognitive function over wave-4 follow-up (mean 12.7 years from baseline). Cognitive function scores (baseline to mean 12.7 years from baseline); PPI use and all covariates at baseline. Estimates for models with and without interaction are from the same model. PPI = proton pump inhibitor; CI = confidence interval; CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression; H2RA = histamine type-2 receptor antagonist; NSAID = nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

*Model 1: Univariate.

Model 2: Adjusted for age (continuous), sex/estrogen status (categorical: male; female premenopausal or postmenopausal with estrogen use and female postmenopausal with no estrogen use), smoking (categorical: nonsmoker/lifetime use of <100 cigarettes, past smoker, and current smoker), education (categorical: education <eighth grade and eighth grade and above), Apolipoprotein E Ɛ4 (categorical: no copies, at least 1 copy, and missing), alcohol frequency (categorical: nondrinker/none within past year, moderate drinker, or heavy drinker), and BMI (categorical: overweight, obese, and extremely obese).

Model 3: Adjusted for model 2+ depression score (CES-D; continuous), diabetes (categorical: yes/no), hypertension (yes/no), and stroke (yes/no).

§Model 4: Adjusted for model 3+ anemia (yes/no), H2RA (yes/no), platelet aggregation inhibitors (yes/no), aspirin (yes/no), NSAID (yes/no), multivitamin (yes/no), and Mediterranean diet score (range 0–9).

AIC = Akaike Information Criterion.

BIC = Bayesian Information Criterion.

#LL = log-likelihood.
