Association Between Dementia and Mortality (N=2,149)

Dementia Status	Mortality per 1,000 Person-Years (95% CI)	Unadjusted	Adjusted^a
		H.R (95% CI)
Actuarial approach
No dementia Dementia All	42.3 (37.7–47.5) 83.1 (65.4–105.6) 46.7 (42.0–51.7)	Reference 1.8 (1.4–2.4) -	Reference 1.5 (1.1–2.1) -
Kaplan-Meier approach
No dementia Dementia All	45.3 (40.3–50.8) 86.2 (67.9–109.6) 49.7 (44.8–55.1)	Reference 1.9 (1.7–2.2) -	Reference 1.5 (1.2–1.8) -

Mortality hazards are based on discrete time proportional hazard model.

Adjusted for age, sex, economic status, location, occupational attainment, and predementia cognitive function.

CI=confidence interval; HR=hazard ratio
