Adjusted for sex, age, country, years of education (<12y, vs 12y+), frailty, average gait speed, hypertension, diabetes, and the presence of depression.

b

Composite of first occurance of death from any cause, incident dementia or incident physical disability

c

Incident includes the first occurance of disability or dementia regardless of whether the event was preceded by another event of interest (e.g. incident disability includes the first occurrence of disability regardless of whether that disability was preceded by dementia)
