Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for baseline age, sex and interval. Model 3: adjusted for baseline age, sex, interval, BMI, ApoE ε4 carrier, current smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cardiogenic disease. Model 4: additionally adjusted for antihypertensive, antidiabetic, lipid lowering, and antiplatelet / anticoagulation medications.
