Abbreviations: CAD, coronary artery disease; GRS, genetic risk score.

Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of dementia/Alzheimer's disease in relation to genetic risk of CAD, both as continuous measure and categorized into quartiles. The model is adjusted for age, sex, education and diabetes before dementia onset.
