Offspring = 0, partner = 1.

Values are expressed as number (%).

Subjects with no mistakes = 0, subjects with one or more mistakes = 1. Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; 15-PLT, 15-Picture Learning Test. Model 1: adjusted for age, gender and years of education. Model 2: as model 1+ diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, stroke and hypertension), alcohol use, smoking, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and apolipoprotein E genotype. Robust standard errors were used to account for familial relationships among the offspring.
