Risk of incident MCI for SCD and APOE ε4 genotype groups in men

Risk of incident MCI SCD−
SCD+
OR (95% CI) for SCD+ within APOE ε4 genotype
Number of no MCI/MCI OR (95% CI) Number of no MCI/MCI OR (95% CI)
Unadjusted
 APOE ε4–negative 338/23 1 (reference) 76/17 3.29 (1.66–6.43) 3.29 (1.66–6.43)
group A group B P < .001 P < .001
 APOE ε4–positive 107/10 1.37 (0.61–2.90) 29/5 2.53 (0.81–6.70) 1.84 (0.54–5.63)
group C P = .42 group D P = .08 P = .30

Effect modification: RERI (95% CI) = −1.13 (−4.35 to 2.09), P = .49; multiplicative scale: ratio of ORs (95% CI) = 0.56 (0.14–2.08), P = .40.
Adjusted
 APOE ε4–negative 338/23 1 (reference) 76/17 2.90 (1.43–5.81) 2.90 (1.43–5.81)
group A group B P = .003 P = .003
 APOE ε4–positive 107/10 1.43 (0.62–3.08) 29/5 2.41 (0.75–6.57) 1.69 (0.48–5.28)
group C P = .38 group D P = .11 P = .38

Effect modification: RERI (95% CI) = −0.92 (−4.01 to 2.16), P = .56; multiplicative scale: ratio of ORs (95% CI) = 0.58 (0.14–2.22), P = .43. ORs are adjusted for age, education and depressive symptoms at t2.

Abbreviations: APOE, apolipoprotein E; CI, confidence interval; MCI, mild cognitive impairment at t2; OR, odds ratio; RERI, relative excess risk due to interaction; SCD (+/−), with and without subjective cognitive decline; t2, second follow-up examination.

NOTE. Risk estimates were calculated by binomial logistic regression analyses and measures of effect modification were assessed for men.

APOE ε4–positive = at least one 4 allele (2/4, 3/4, 4/4).
