Model 1: Time to Impairment or Age 80, treatment arm, education, region, hysterectomy, prior HT, BMI, hx of stroke, systolic BP, diastolic BP, hx of hypertension, hx of diabetes, hx of high cholesterol, HDL, LDL

Model 2: Model 2 plus physical function including MET-hours per week from walking and lifestyle factors including emotional well-being, rated quality of life, smoking, drinking (4 groups: non, past, up to <7 drinks (group all), and 7+ drinks), general health, CESD (0.1 unit increase), 3MSE

Model 3a: Reduced model, retaining only significant and key factors (including Time to Impairment or Age 80, edu, trt status)

Model 3b: Includes women who developed impairment after age 80, n=623 versus 2510
