Multivariable-adjusted Odds Ratios (95%CIs) for Circulating Caprylic Acid Level and Risk of Incident AD among Participants with MCI at Baseline

Caprylic acid (C8:0)¹	No. of cases/all	Odds Ratio (95%CI)	Odds Ratio (95%CI) Per STD	P Value

All MCI participants at baseline
Model 1		1.04 (0.89–1.22)	1.03 (0.91–1.18)	0.6258
Model 2	210/392	1.06 (0.89–1.25)	1.04 (0.91–1.19)	0.5216
Model 3		1.05 (0.89–1.24)	1.04 (0.91–1.19)	0.5361

Circulating C8:0 level was log transformed. Model 1 presented crude values; model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, race, ethnicity, education years, and APOE ε4 alleles; model 3 was additionally adjusted for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic diseases.
