^*TICS-m – modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status.

^†Beta coefficient represents the change in points on the TICS-m over time compared to never drinkers; positive denotes better scores.

Model 1 – Adjusted for age and education.

Model 2 – Model 1 + gender, race-ethnicity, and insurance status.

Model 3 – Model 2 + history of hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disease, physical inactivity, depression, current smoking, HDL-C level, and BMI.
