Table 3. Standardized, Multivariable-Adjusted, Population Mean Estimates and Difference in Estimates of Annual Rates of Domain-Specific Cognitive Decline by Baseline Stereo Acuity Impairment, Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging, 2003-2019a.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Difference at baseline between the stereo acuity non-impaired and impaired | Annual rate of change for reference group (no stereo acuity impairment at baseline) | Difference (acceleration) in annual rate of change in the slope for group with stereo acuity impairment at baseline | ||

All models were adjusted for baseline stereo impairment status, age, sex, race, education, smoking status, hypertension, and diabetes.
