Odds ratios are adjusted for age at death (centered at 85), female sex (1, 0), and research center (Honolulu-Asia Aging Study, Oregon Health & Science University, Rush University Medical Center, Washington University, or University of Kentucky).

In model 2, years of education, history of hypertension (1, 0), and APOE-ε4 carrier status (1, 0) are included as additional control variables.

P value significant at 0.05.
