Statistically Significant Interactions between ApoE4 and Midlife Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Error Response NP Outcome Measures (P-value<0.05)

Categorical Outcomes (≥75th vs <75th percentile) Exposure ApoE4− (N=1359) ApoE4+ (N=364) P-value for Interaction
OR (95% CI) P-value OR (95% CI) P-value
FAS - % Total errors Hypertension 0.86 (0.64–1.15) 0.30 1.68 (0.93–3.03) 0.08 0.04
Animals - % Perseverations Age 1.02 (1.00–1.03) 0.03 1.06 (1.03–1.10) 0.0002 0.01
Animals - % Total Errors Age 1.02 (1.01–1.04) 0.004 1.07 (1.03–1.10) <0.0001 0.01
Trails B - Total Errors Age 1.05 (1.03–1.06) <0.0001 1.01 (0.98–1.03) 0.63 0.006

Abbreviations: OR = odds ratio; CI=confidence interval; ApoE4− = apolipoprotein ε4 negative group; ApoE4+ = apolipoprotein ε4 positive group;

All models are adjusted for age, sex, education group (<high school degree, high school degree, college degree, >college degree), and time between risk factor measurement and neuropsychological testing.
