Notes: Beta coefficient comes from generalized estimating equations and corresponds to change in cognitive score with 1-y change in time. Results control for baseline age, gender, race, ethnicity, education, number of health conditions, body mass index, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, smoking, drinking, # days drink/week, and # drinks/day. All bolded values denote statistical significance at p < .05.
