Note. * p < .05. n = 7,625. TBI+ = presence of a history of traumatic brain injury with any loss of consciousness and no chronic deficits occurring more than one year prior to the initial visit. TBI– = absence of a history of traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness. APOE ε4+ = presence of at least one apolipoprotein E-e4 allele. APOE ε4– = absence of an apolipoprotein E-e4 allele.
