The analysis adjusted for age and baseline score on the Attention-Executive-Psychomotor composite.

Abbreviation: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; IMT, carotid intima media thickness; BAR, brachial artery response.

Time represents the mean estimated rate of change in Attention-Executive-Psychomotor function in the cohort, when all vascular indices are set to zero.

a

Represents the estimated difference in baseline scores on Attention-Executive-Psychomotor function for each unit increase in the cardiovascular index, adjusted for the other vascular indices.

b

Represents the estimated difference in rate of change on Attention-Executive-Psychomotor function for each unit increase in the vascular index, adjusted for the other vascular indices.
