Association of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio with memory function (Scenery Picture Memory Test score) by use of lipophilic statins, hydrophilic statins, and non-statins

	β (SE)^a	p-value
Lipophilic statins
LDL-C	0.011 (0.008)	0.148
Lipophilic statins	−9.841 (5.929)	0.097
LDL-C * lipophilic statins	0.072 (0.045)	0.108
TG/HDL-C raio	−0.398 (0.190)	0.037
Lipophilic statins	2.792 (2.494)	0.263
TG/HDL-C raio * lipophilic statins	−3.161 (2.170)	0.145
Statins (lipophilic and hydrophilic statins)
LDL-C	0.010 (0.008)	0.246
Statins	−3.835 (2.568)	0.135
LDL-C * statins	0.033 (0.021)	0.104
TG/HDL-C ratio	−0.338 (0.193)	0.079
Statins	1.288 (1.099)	0.241
TG/HDL-C raio * statins	−0.830 (0.688)	0.228
Lipid lowering drugs (statins and non statins)
LDL-C	0.010 (0.008)	0.232
Lipid lowering drugs	−3.415 (2.493)	0.171
LDL-C * lipid lowering drugs	0.030 (0.020)	0.130
TG/HDL-C ratio	−0.331 (0.194)	0.089
Lipid lowering drugs	1.257 (1.041)	0.228
TG/HDL-C ratio * lipid lowering drugs	−0.793 (0.651)	0.224

HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG = triglyceride

Adjusted for age, gender, years of education, use of lipid-lowering drugs, history of stroke and heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and current smoking and alcohol drinking status
