Intermediate vs. No AD changes | 1.17 (0.86, 1.60) | 1.34 (0.96, 1.87) |
Low vs. No AD changes | 1.22 (0.92, 1.60) | 1.31 (0.98, 1.76) |
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.
P value statistically significant after applying Holm-Bonferroni procedure.
