All median times in this table were calculated from Kaplan–Meier probabilities

CI = confidence interval

a4 patients were excluded from survival analyses of dementia, because they developed dementia prior to baseline assessment

b1 patient and 2 controls were institutionalized before baseline

c20 patients and 4 controls developed dementia after time of institutionalization
