Conditional indirect effects of the moderated mediation models for hypertensives and non-hypertensives, with sex, education, hypertension duration, white matter hyperintensities, systolic blood pressure, and SRT sum recall as covariates.
This effect remained significant after additionally adjusting for WAIS-IV FSIQ performance. Independent variable (x) = age, mediator (m) = hippocampal volumes (i.e., right and left hippocampal volumes), dependent variable (y) = SMC score, moderator (w) = hypertension status. CI = confidence interval; LLCI = lower limit confidence interval; ULCI = upper limit confidence interval. Confidence intervals indicate significance when they do not include 0. Bolded indirect effects are significant.
