a

Models included the variables listed and all models adjusted for entry age.

The models included neighborhood socioeconomic factors (NSES), sub-Saharan African admixture (AFR), diabetes (DM), systolic hypertension (HTN), and body mass index (BMI).

b

The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are shown.

c

Statistically significant (p < 0.05)
