*

Risk factors are Chronic Mild Worry, Chronic Severe Anxiety, Recent Onset Anxiety, dichotomized total mCES-D score (<5 or ≥5), Core mood depression profile, Self-esteem/Interpersonal Depression profile, Apathy/Neurovegetative Depression profile; demographic variables are age, gender, education level, and race; each change in cognitive domain score was obtained from the estimated slope of a mixed-effect model of cognitive domain value in which the predictor was time.
