The 4,864 participants included in this table (496 + 4,368) had at least one 3MSE score and were included in regression models for 3MSE.
All percentages in the table are column percentages. Mean drinks per week was calculated among participants who reported any current alcohol use. For diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and atrial fibrillation, percentages of participants with the condition present at enrollment and of those with the incident condition occurring during follow-up were mutually exclusive and therefore sum to the total percentage of participants with the condition either present at enrollment or occurring during follow-up (mean of 6.4 years). Incident diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, or atrial fibrillation may have occurred before or after incident HF diagnosis.
