Reference group is no CMB. P= p-value, n.s. = non-significant, >0.05.

Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, education and APOE4.

Model 2 additionally adjusted for ischemic MRI markers: log-white matter hyperintensity volume, covert brain infarcts.

Model 3. Model 1 additionally adjusted for hypertension, diabetes, and prevalent cardiovascular disease
