Note. N=9913. Incident dementia=397. Coefficients are hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) from Cox regression.

Model 3 control for Model 2 covariates and history of a diagnosis of an emotional or mental disorder. Model 4 controls for Model 3 covariates and the clinical and behavioral risk factors.
