Summary of the main results of this study (full model). Forest plot represents odds ratio ([OR] symbols) and 95% confidence interval ([CI] bars) of the association between each predictive variable and the outcome variable Clinical Dementia Rating scale–Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB). Nonstatistically significant associations are depicted in black, statistically significant negative (protective) associations in green, and statistically significant positive (risk) associations in red. Two ORs (95% CI) are shown for female sex, one for the comparisons between the adjacent CDR-SOB categories 0, 0.5 to 3, 3.5 to 6, 6.5 to 12, and 12.5 to 17 (ρ) and the other for the comparison between the adjacent CDR-SOB categories 12.5 to 17 and 18 (ψ). Two ORs (95% CI) are shown for Braak NFT stages III/IV and V/VI, one for the adjacent CDR-SOB categories 0 and 0.5 to 3 (γ) and the other for the adjacent CDR-SOB categories 3.5 to 6, 6.5 to 12, 12.5 to 17, and 18 (ϕ). CAA, cerebral amyloid angiopathy; HScl, hippocampal sclerosis; NFT, neurofibrillary tangles; NPs, neuritic plaques; SVD, small-vessel disease (arteriosclerosis).
