Table 2. Hazard ratios of dementia in relation to genetic risk of coronary artery disease.
All dementia | Alzheimer's disease | Vascular dementia | |
---|---|---|---|
GRS for CAD | 1.01 (1.00–1.02) | 1.01 (0.99–1.03) | 1.01 (0.98–1.04) |
1st quartile | 1.00 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
2nd quartile | 0.99 (0.85–1.14) | 0.96 (0.78–1.18) | 0.98 (0.71–1.36) |
3rd quartile | 1.05 (0.90–1.22) | 0.96 (0.78–1.19) | 1.18 (0.86–1.62) |
4th quartile | 1.10 (0.95–1.29) | 1.20 (0.98–1.48) | 0.85 (0.59–1.24) |
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.
