Abbreviations: CI, Confidence Interval; HR, Hazard Ratio.

a

P values from Cox proportional hazard models with delayed entry and age as the time scale. There were 40 incident cases of dementia and 35 incident cases of Alzheimer’s disease. There were 19 individuals in the reference group for dementia and 16 individuals in the reference group for Alzheimer’s disease.

b

Adjusted for sex, years of education, non-Ashkenazi white race, black race.

c

Adjusted for the covariates in Model 1 plus an additional adjustment for medical comorbidities as measured by the Medical Comorbidity Index.

d

Adjusted for the covariates in Model 2 plus an additional adjustment for presence of an APOE ε4 allele.
