Model	Cognitive Domain	Bivariate	Multivariate^*
Model	Cognitive Domain	RR (95% CI)
1	Language	0. 95 (0.89–0.99)^†	0.90 (0.83–0.96)^‡
2	Memory	1.00 (0.98–1.03)	0.98 (0.89–1.08)
3	Processing Speed	0.95 (0.84–1.04)	0.76 (0.49–1.20)
4	Visual Spatial Ability	0.96 (0.87–1.05)	0.93 (0.66–1.34)

Model 1 adjusts for age, race, gender, years of education, and geriatric depression scale scores; models 2, 3, and 4 adjust for age, race, gender, years of education, geriatric depression scale scores, and dementia severity.
