MMSE Slopes From Linear Mixed Models of Change in MMSE Score Over Time

Variables	Estimate (± SEM)	Δ − 2Log Likelihood
Age	0.33 ± 0.01	1,264a
Gender	−2.35 ± 0.39	1,456a
Education	−0.03 ± 0.01	408b
Dementia	−13.69 ± 1.38	2,467a
Depression	−4.16 ± 1.2	1,139a
Dementia × depression	−2.72 ± 0.65	732b

Notes: Estimates represent standardized regression coefficients for the extent of decline over up to 36 months on the MMSE. δ-2loglikelihood denotes change in likelihood estimators (df = 1,

^ap < 0.001,

^bp < 0.01).
