Predicted 3MSE scores from a) the joint longitudinal-survival model to describe the association between diabetes and rate of change in cognitive function and b) from the mixed linear effects model to describe the association between diabetes and rate of change in cognitive function by survival status. Predictions are for an individual who remains free of diabetes throughout the study (solid line), an individual with baseline diabetes (dashed line), and an individual with new diabetes at year 4.5 of the study (dotted line). All predictions are for a male individual 70 years of age with 7 years of education, waist circumference <40 inches, no history of stroke or cardiovascular disease, without hypertension or elevated depressive symptoms.
