Table 2. The adjusted estimated value of cognitive function tests by CACS stratum.

Model	CACS = 0, n= 728	CACS = 1-399, n= 483	CACS ≥ 400, n = 121	P
Model 1: unadjusted; model 2: adjusted for age, education, sex, body mass index, total cholesterol, HDL-C, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, creatinine, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, stroke, depressive symptoms, myocardial infarction and cancer. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 for comparison with CACS = 0. CACS: coronary artery calcium score; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
