Notes: AUC = area under the curve; CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio; HS = high school; MCI = mild cognitive impairment. Model 1 is unadjusted for covariates. Model 2 is adjusted for demographic (baseline age, study site, treatment group, sex, race, education category) and health covariates (medical comorbidities, significant depressive symptoms). Model 3 is stratified by MCI status. Individuals were assigned to the class of the highest posterior probability of membership. Mean 10-fold cross-validated area under the receiver operating characteristic curves are reported for nonstratified models.

*p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001, all p values are 2-sided.
