Table 3.
Hazard ratio of baseline CR in APOE ε2 carriers and non-carriers. Both models were adjusted for baseline age, gender, and ε4 carrier status.
| Variable | N | Hazard Ratio (95% CI) |
p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
|
CR in ε2 carriers (ε2/ε2 and ε2/ε3) |
30 | 0.09 (0.01 – 0.75) | .03 |
|
CR in ε2 non-carriers (ε3/ε3) |
140* | 0.53 (0.37 – 0.77) | .001 |
Abbreviations: CR = cognitive reserve composite score.
The sample size for the ε2 non-carrier group represents the individuals who were ε3/ε3 (n = 140), since the model was adjusted for ε4 carrier status (n = 87).
