Hierarchical regression analyses: Prediction of cognitive decline from Attempt Status

	Model 1	Model 2	Model 3
Adjusted R²	.212	.208	.283
Degrees of Freedom Model	3,132	5,130	6,129
Degrees of Freedom for each variables	1,132	1,130	1,129
MMSE (Time 1)	F=4.16 (p=.03)	F=3.85 (p=.05)	F=4.13 (p =.04)
Sex	F=.33 (p=.57)	F=.42 (p =.52)	F=5.1 (p =.48)
Education	F=9.94 (p=.002)	F=10.23 (p =.002)	F=13.15 (p <.001)
Attempted Suicide		F=.181 (p=.671)	F=.214. (p=.644)
Baseline White Matter Lesions (Right)			F=8.1 (p =.005)

Note. This analysis demonstrates that a history of attempting suicide was unrelated to cognitive decline from baseline to year 2. However, right (but not left) white matter lesions predicted cognitive decline.
