TABLE 2.

Association of four dementia-related polygenic risk scores (as a continuous variable, per SD) with risk of incident dementia.

Dementia-related polygenic risk score Model 1
Model 2
Model 3
HR (95% CI) p-value HR (95% CI) p-value HR (95% CI) p-value
PRS-83SNP 1.35 (1.23–1.47) 2.85E-11 1.37 (1.26–1.50) 3.12E-12 1.35 (1.23–1.47) 5.33E-11

Note: Cox PH regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of the PRS per standard deviation, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Model 1 was adjusted for age at recruitment, sex, and first 20 genetic PCs. Model 2 was additionally adjusted for the number of APOE ε4 and APOE ε2 alleles. Model 3 was further adjusted for baseline smoking status, alcohol drinking status, BMI, living status, years of education, CES-D-10, diabetes status, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and dementia family history
