Table 2.
Hazards ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) derived from age-stratified Cox Proportional Hazards models with single predictor of either Spielberger State or Trait anxiety, and with both anxiety variables and control variables of education, baseline MMSE and HAM-D
| Predictor variables | Hazards ratio (95% CI) from single predictor model |
Hazards ratio (95% CI) adjusted for other variables |
|---|---|---|
| State anxiety (≤30 vs. > 30) | 1.26 (0.65, 2.44) p = 0.49 | 1.68 (0.75, 3.77) p = 0.21 |
| Trait anxiety (≤30 vs. >30) | 0.61 (0.32, 1.17) p = 0.13 | 0.36 (0.16, 0.82) p = 0.015 |
| Education | 1.01 (0.93, 1.10) p = 0.81 | |
| MMSE | 0.75 (0.64, 0.87) p < 0.001 | |
| HAM-D | 1.01 (0.92, 1.10) p = 0.86 |
