Association of the incidence of vascular and bleed events with dementia. NE_dem, number of participants with the non-fatal incident event and, subsequently, the broad dementia outcome; NE, total number of patients with the non-fatal incident event. ^aAdjusted for age, sex, randomized allocation, number of hospitalizations, incidence of the other non-fatal incident events, prior disease, and baseline predictors of dementia selected by backwards selection with p_sel = 0.2. ^bNon-disabling events (analyses are censored at disabling stroke or intracranial bleed). Intracranial bleed includes haemorrhagic stroke. ^cRate ratios associated with having the combined events tend to be higher than those with individual types because, for people with more than one type of event, they encompass the risks associated with each of the types of event.
