Model 1: adjusted for age and sex. Model 2: adjusted for model 1 + education, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensive medication, prevalent cardiovascular disease, prevalent diabetes mellitus, and ApoE4 carrier status. Model 3: adjusted for model 2 + BMI. IGFBP2 was natural logarithmically transformed and standardized. IGFBP‐2, insulin‐like growth factor binding protein‐2; SDU, standard deviation unit; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
