Table 3.
Estimated Hazard Ratios (95% Confidence Interval) from Cox Proportional Hazard Models Assessing Parental Longevity (OPEL vs OPUS) as a Predictor of Dementia.
| Outcome | Model 1* | Model 2† | Model 3‡ | Model 4§ | Model 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All dementia | 0.64 (0.43–0.97) | 0.68 (0.45–1.02) | 0.70 (0.46–1.05) | 0.69 (0.46–1.04) | 0.70 (0.47–1.06) |
| Alzheimer’s Dementia | 0.57 (0.35–0.93) | 0.60 (0.37–0.99) | 0.61 (0.37–0.99) | 0.59 (0.36–0.97) | 0.62 (0.36–1.07) |
Model 1: OPEL versus OPUS using age as the time scale.
Model 2: Model 1 + (gender, education, race/ethnicity).
Model 3: Model 2 + (hypertension, myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, stroke).
Model 4: Model 2 + vascular index (sum of conditions present: hypertension, myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, stroke).
Model 5: Model 2+ vascular index + ever smoking + dyslipidemia.
