1

CIND: cognitive impairment, no dementia;

2

NPI: neuropsychiatric inventory;

3

aMCI: amnestic-MCI;

4

Other: CIND types other then aMCI;

5

ORs were adjusted for age, education, ApoE ε4 status, CDR, and 3MS;

^

A value of “N/A” listed next to an NPI domain indicates that one of the groups in that comparison had a value of “0.”
