Association of Negative Affect With Incidence of Probable Dementia and Cognitive Impairment
| Positive Affect | Negative Affect | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCI | Probable Dementia | MCI | Probable Dementia | |||||||||
| Hazard Ratio | 95% CI | p Value | Hazard Ratio | 95% CI | p Value | Hazard Ratio | 95% CI | p Value | Hazard Ratio | 95% CI | p Value | |
| Model 1 | 0.90 | (.71, 1.14) | .4 | 0.94 | (.74, 1.19) | .6 | 1.54 | (1.23, 1.94) | .0002 | 1.34 | (1.04, 1.72) | .02 |
| Model 2 | 0.99 | (.78, 1.26) | .95 | 1.05 | (.82, 1.35) | .68 | 1.64 | (1.30, 2.08) | <.0001 | 1.44 | (1.11, 1.86) | .005 |
| Model 3 | 0.99 | (.78, 1.26) | .92 | 1.06 | (.83, 1.37) | .63 | 1.70 | (1.35, 2.15) | <.0001 | 1.38 | (1.06, 1.80) | .02 |
| Model 4 | 0.99 | (.78, 1.25) | .93 | 1.03 | (.81, 1.32) | .8 | 1.55 | (1.21, 1.99) | .0006 | 1.33 | (1.01, 1.76) | .04 |
Note: Model 1 is the unadjusted model showing the hazard ratios associated with PA and NA (per 10-unit increment on PANAS). Model 2 adjusted for demographic factors (age, race, education), and randomization arm. Model 3 adjusted for all Model 2 variables as well as lifestyle factors (marital status, smoking status, alcohol consumption, exercise). Model 4 is the fully adjusted model that includes all demographic, lifestyle, and health variables listed in Table 1. MCI = Mild cognitive impairment.
