^*adjusted for age, menopausal status, race, smoking, education, vocabulary, BMI, last known marital status, depressive symptoms. Outcomes are standardized to mean=0, SD=1. Summary score sums the individual standardized measures.

SE, standard error; SD, standard deviation; BMI, body mass index

^†Linear models fit using maximum likelihood. Parameters combined across multiple (n=10) imputations to address missing data; average value ~t with df depending on within- and between-imputation variances (adjusted df between 594 and 717).
